Suddenly craved for tokwa’t baboy while I was tenderizing and precooking the meat deliveries. It turned out so easy to do because I already have fried tokwa in the refrigerator.
But even if you do not have readily fried tokwa or tofu in the refrigerator, this dish will still come easy. All you have to do is wash the tofu or tokwa block. fry it in a bit of oil in a non stick pan on the two wider sides. Once both sides are golden brown, you can now the drain the oil and cut the little tokwa into cubes. set aside.
You can then boil the pork belly. make sure to season the water wqith salt and pepper, and laurel if you like. Some add garlic and onions in the boil, but I do not bother doing that anymore 20 minutes. After that, slice it alongside the other recados like the onion and the siling haba.
The next uncomplicated procedure is making the epic sauce of just vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and then some more siling labuyo if you prefer it spicy.
