In a big pot, heat vegetable over medium heat.
Add garlic, onion and ginger. Saute until fragrant. Add black pepper.
Add in ox tripe and cook for 3 minutes.
Add fish sauce and water. Lower heat into simmer and leave simmering until ox tripe is tender. This will take a lot of time.
Turn heat up to medium-high and add rice. Stir well.
Add beef broth and bring to a boil.
Stir the pot occasionally while cooking the rice. Approximately 30-40 minutes.
Add hard-boiled eggs and stir with the rest of ingredients.
Add safflower and stir again.
Turn off heat and serve in bowls.
Top with calamansi juice, chicharon and green onions. Enjoy!
