Famous Pinoy Tokwa't Baboy

PORK TOFU and VINEGAR  (Famous Pinoy Tokwa't Baboy)

Tokwa't baboy recipe is a famous finger food usually for beer drinkers in Philippines. It's also a very good side dish for Rice Porridge or known as "Lugaw". But today I will cook this recipe as main course dish with rice. This is so quick, very affordable, easy to make. And yet very delicious because I'm going to infuse it with herbs to become so sourly tasty! Sit back and relax..even kids will love it. ♡
