How do I know when Dinuguan is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 3: cook until pork is nearly tender. Step 5: cook until the stew darkens and thickens.

How hot is Dinuguan?

Moderately. The heat in Dinuguan comes from 1 red chili peppers, sliced. For a milder plate, remove the seeds and ribs from the chili, or use half; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Can I make Dinuguan gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Dinuguan is 2 tbsp soy sauce. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.
