- Offal meat spoils quickly, so it is best to use them on the day of purchase or freeze immediately.
- When boiling the meat, check it after 30 minutes to see if it's just a bit tender. Remember, you don't want it to be too soft because it will still soften some more after adding the pepper soup spices.
- You can add some cayenne pepper if the soup is not spicy enough for you.
- You can also leave the habanero pepper whole to reduce the heat instead of chopping it up.
