if you have a multi-cooker or slow cooker or pressure cooker, you can use it to cook the meat and save on gas! i used pork and beef tripe, put the meat in water and slow cooked for 5 hours. followed the rest of the recipe as instructed. did not add rice powder. Instead, i just let the broth reduce as i add more ingredients to it.
