Tokwa't, Baby

Tokwa't baboy is a traditional dish made with tofu and pork as the main ingredients. Besides deep-fried tofu and pork belly and ears, it also contains a combination of pork broth, vinegar, soy sauce, chili peppers, and chopped onions. The dish is usually served as a side dish to rice or rice porridge, or as an appetizer. Before serving, tokwa't baboy is often garnished with finely chopped shallots and chili peppers. There are many recipes for this dish, so leftovers from lechon kawali are often used instead of fresh pork belly and ears. For the best experience, serve the dish with a bottle of cold beer on the side.
