Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 500g beef tripe (cleaned and cut into small pieces)
- 1 cup glutinous rice (malagkit)
- 1 thumb-sized ginger (sliced thinly)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 6 cups water (or beef broth for richer flavor)
- 2 tbsp fish sauce (patis)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 hard-boiled eggs (halved, optional)
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- Garnish: green onions (chopped), fried garlic, calamansi or lemon wedges
Instructions
- In a pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic, onion, and ginger until fragrant.
- Add the beef tripe and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly browned.
- Pour in the water or beef broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes or until the tripe becomes tender.

- Season with fish sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot in bowls, garnished with green onions, fried garlic, and a side of hard-boiled eggs. Add calamansi or lemon wedges for extra flavor.
Tips and Variations
- For a richer taste, use beef broth instead of water.
- You can substitute beef tripe with chicken if preferred.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more water or broth if the porridge becomes too thick.
FAQ
What is Goto?
Goto is a Filipino rice porridge made with glutinous rice, beef tripe, and flavored with ginger and garlic. It’s similar to Arroz Caldo but uses tripe instead of chicken.
Can I use regular rice instead of glutinous rice?
Yes, but glutinous rice gives the dish its signature sticky texture.
How do I clean beef tripe?
Clean the tripe thoroughly by scrubbing it with salt and rinsing it multiple times. Boil it briefly to remove any impurities before cooking.
