Kinalas is a famous Bicol noodles recipe just like mami. The simple preparation is to cook noodles and garnished the soup noodles with scraped meat from pork or beef’s head and other parts. It is top with a thickened deep-brown sauce from the brains of a cow or pig. The dish is further seasoned with simple spices (lots of sili and pepper) and served in hot broth with boiled egg.

The word “kalas” is the root word of “hinglas – hiningalas” and is a term purely referring to meat preparation going back to 16th century Bicol as according to Lisboa’s bicol dictionary.
The preparation basically starts with boiling the skinned cows head or other parts of cow with bones for 4-6 hours. Once very tender, scraped down the meat from the bones (kinalas na laman ng baka) and the beef broth is also used to make the soup really tasty. Traditionally they use cows brain to thicken the Kinalas sauce but alternatively you can follow the ingredients listed below if cows brain is not available.
