Pork and Tofu Tausi

Filipinos are known  for having close family ties.  In our family for example to keep our bond alive : we make it a tradition to find time to dine outside together or to just prepare a simple meal at home once a month even if we are all grown-ups married and with kids.  This is always a good way to catch up on our chit-chat over our lives, success, worries over a good meal.  My youngest sister who’s still single and is not very keen to cooking but loves eating is the guest of  honor for our simple lunch at home this weekend.  As I am the hostess, I thought of preparing her favorite since we were kids, that is Pork Tofu and Tausi. This is actually tokwa’t baboy level up  If you want to put a twist on your normal tokwa’t baboy try this dish!

Ingredients:

3/4 kilo of pork belly (good deal of meat and fat)

1 long green chili sliced

3 gloves of garlic

1 small onion sliced

a thumbsized ginger, peeled and sliced

4 tablespoons of vinegar

3 tablespoons of soy sauce
