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 :)

NEW RESTO ALERT: Saigosan in Uptown Mall

Konnichiwa Saigosan! A new and funky izakaya recently opened at Uptown Mall headed by Chef Chris Oronce. This izakaya not only serves delectable dishes but is also a visual-feast. Inspired by animes, mangas, and JPop culture, Saigosan even has a train wherein you can hop from Kyoto to Osaka without a JR Pass! 

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow! 

NEW RESTO ALERT: Hà Nội Phố (Ha Noi Pho)

Makati has been a go-to place for my family and I to grab a meal or sometimes just to have a cup of coffee. Though, really, it’s mostly just us visiting our favorite spots. Recently, my mom went out of town so it was just my dad and I who went out for dinner.
