What drives the calories

  • The pork cut sets most of the calories, and pork belly has much more fat than ribs or shoulder.
  • The broth itself is light, but fat from the pork floats on top.
  • Taro (gabi) adds some starch, and most people eat the soup with rice.

How to make it lighter

  • Choose lean cuts such as kasim or ribs instead of liempo.
  • Skim the fat from the top of the soup.
  • Eat more kangkong and radish and less of the pork fat.
