Tokwa’t Baboy is an all-time favorite Filipino appetizer. It’s also a favorite “pulutan” (beer-match) and of course, my favorite partner to my Arroz Caldo or Congee. You can make it out of any pork part you like but most of the time, it’s made of pork belly, pork ears, or pork face. I like mine out of pork ears because of the soft cartilage in the ears.
The sauce is made out of vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, onions, and ground pepper. I used to like my sauce a bit spicy so I put siling labuyo. But because of my acid reflux (LPRD), I avoid putting any kind of chili in my food.
I grew up eating this with rice as ulam too! Kayo ba? Madalas rin ba kayong mag-ulam ng Tokwa’t Baboy?
