RECIPE: Tokwa't Baboy

It's been raining and flooding like crazy for almost a week now that today's ray of sunshine made everyone happy including me. Of course I enjoyed the monggo, the nilaga, the sopas, the sinigang, etc during the rainy days but I'm craving for something different tonight, something I haven't cooked for ages and something to cheer us up at home as we finally bid goodbye to Maring (typhoon Trami).



Ingredients:

4 pcs tokwa or 1 block of tofu, cut into cubes
1/4 pork cubes (I used liempo cut into bite-size pieces)
oil
wansoy or kinchay, minced
1 medium onion, sliced
half clove garlic
ground pepper
salt
small piece of ginger, julienned
Knorr Liquid Seasoning (original)
Mama Sita's  Oyster Sauce
Golden Sail Chinese Cooking Wine
green chili pepper (optional)


Fry the tokwa or tofu cubes in oil until golden brown. Salt-rub the pork and then fry in a little bit of oil until golden brown and crunchy. Cook ginger and garlic, toss in the tokwa and pork and add seasonings and onions. Add the wansoy or kinchay before removing from pan. Bon appetit!

  2. sis, you can also use pork face/ears but it takes a longer time to cook since you have to boil it pa :)

    1. Is it ok to boil and grill the pork? Para hindi na igisa

    2. Ok din to boil and grill. Actually, marami naman versions and pagluluto ng tokwa't baboy. Yun version ko is more on pang-ulam since it has sauce. :)

    1. Hi, sis. Actually you can skip the cooking wine. I just saw it sa shelf when I made the tokwa't baboy. I have a friend who tweaked my recipe and used atsuete oil so reddish ang color ng dish :)

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
