Special Tokwat Baboy

Do you like tokwat baboy? what part of the pig do you use when you prepare the dish? Usually, pig’s ears and pork belly are used to make tokwat baboy. The meat is boiled or steamed until tender and then mixed with fried tofu along with the other ingredients. This Special Tokwat baboy recipe has the same procedure as the regular Tokwat baboy, but we will be using grilled pork belly (inihaw na liempo) instead of the usual boiled meat.

This Tokwat baboy version taste very good because the grilled pork complimented the other ingredients well. This is somewhat a tokwat baboy and a sinuglaw dish at the same time, less the tuna of course.

You can prepare this Special Tokwat Baboy as a pulutan or even a main dish that you can enjoy for lunch or dinner. Soaking it in the vinegar mixture a little longer makes it taste very good.  Enjoy!
