Tokwa’t Baboy

(about 1/2 pound) pork ear

pork belly

water

onion,

garlic,

bay leaves

peppercorns

salt

(16 ounces) block firm tofu

pork broth (from boiling pork)

vinegar

soy sauce

pepper

sugar

shallots,

Thai chili peppers, chopped

In a pot over medium heat, combine pork ear, pork belly, and enough water to cover. Add onions, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and salt. Bring to a boil, skimming scum that floats on top.

Remove from heat and drain well, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid. Allow to cool to touch and dice meat.

Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until meat is fork-tender.

Drain tofu from packing liquid. Wrap tofu block in paper towels and weigh down with a small plate or cup for about 15 to 20 minutes to excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

In a cast-iron skillet over high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add tofu and deep-fry, turning as necessary, until golden brown and crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove tofu from skillet and drain on paper towels.

In a pan over medium heat, combine pork broth, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar. Bring to a boil, without stirring, for about 3 to 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine diced pork, tofu cubes, shallots, and chili peppers. Pour vinegar dressing and gently toss to distribute.

Transfer into a serving platter and garnish with more chopped shallots and chili peppers.

Tokwa&#039;t Baboy is a Filipino comfort food dish made with tenderized pork cheeks and ears, fried tofu (tokwa), and a flavorful sauce typically combining vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, onions, and chili peppers.

How to Cook Tokwa't Baboy (Boiled Pork with Fried Tofu)

pcs tokwa or tofu (about 2 inch square inch)

pork ears and cheeks (pork maskara) (or pork belly)

Tbsp. black peppercorn (cracked)

Tbsp. rock salt

apple cider vinegar (or cane vinegar)

onion

Tbsp brown sugar

siling labuyo (bird's eye chili, chopped)

Wash and clean the pork ears and cheeks by removing hairs and remaining blood.

Rub with rock salt to remove the odor. Wash in running water and drain.

In a pot, put enough water just to cover the pork and add salt and black pepper.

Boil for an hour or until the pork is tender.

Use a charcoal stove if you have one because it taste better and the pork is easier to tenderize and the pork is still firm.

In the meantime deep fry the tokwa until golden brown. Drain and let cool.

Slice the tokwa into cubes and put in a deep platter but leave enough space for the pork.

Slice the pork cheeks and ears into squares and mix them with the tofu.

It's up to you if you want to arrange the tofu and pork side by side if you don't want to mix them.

For the sauce, combine water, vinegar, sugar, onion, soy sauce and siling labuyo. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

Pour the sauce over the tokwa and pork then serve.
