SpicyTokwat Baboyis one of my all-time favorite pulutan dish. It is also perfect when paired with goto or arroz caldo. Sometimes, I eat it as a main dish along with warm white rice. As I have mentioned, there are more than one way to enjoy tokwat baboy. It is up to you on how you want to indulge on it.
It is easy to make Spicy Tokwat Baboy. All you need to do is boil the pig ears until tender, fry the tofu, and prepare the spicy vinegar mixture. However, I strongly recommend to ensure that the ears are properly cleaned before doing anything else.
所以,我该怎么办呢?我煮了两次。的玩家rst is to remove the impurities on the skin. I also scrape the hair and top skin of the ears after the first boiling. The second boiling process is about making the ears tender while making it less pungent. Adding cinnamon bark and lemon grass helps reduce the unwanted smell. Crushed ginger root can also be added if desired.
The pig ears are then sliced into serving pieces. These are combined with the sliced tofu that were fried. Speaking of tofu, it is the simplest to cook. Simply fry each side for 4 to 5 minutes (or deep fry for 5 minutes), and then slice into cubes. I have a piece of advice in order to prevent oil from splattering. Try to dry the tofu before frying. I did it wiping each piece of tofu with dry paper towel.
The spicy vinegar is the sole source of flavor for this dish. You can use the base recipe that I provided below, and adjust it further according to your liking. I think that the amount of chili peppers that I used is already enough to provide me the spiciness that I wanted.Feel free to adjust it based on your heat tolerance.
