Me, me, me…I can hear myself fighting for my right to take a bite of this yummylicious Filipino-style sweetened cured meat. Pork tocino plus rice with egg is my favorite breakfast accompanied with a hot cup of coffee. Perfect, ain’t it?

We once hopped into an Oriental store and found a ready-to-cook tocino made in the Philippines. Despite my craving, its price tag hindered me to throw it in our basket. I search for recipes online and found them easy. However, remembering Country Bob’s all-purpose sauce, my experimental self decided to make her own tocino recipe.

I will be sharing the recipe here but please know that I am never accurate with measuring ingredients. I always trust on my instincts and fortunately, my recipes always came out good if not perfect. *WINK* *WINK*

My tocino ingredients include:

Garlic

Pepper

Apple cider vinegar

Soy sauce

Brown sugar

Country bob’s all-purpose sauce

Pork chops or loin

Procedure is not complicated at all. First is to cut meat into about ¼ inch thick. Mix all other ingredients then marinate meat. I keep the marinade refrigerated for at least 3 days before cooking.

When cooking, I heat skillet then place meat on it. I don’t add water since the meat will produce its own juice eventually. In the case where you want your tocino to have a little sauce, you can pour some more of the marinade sauce on it when cooking. I never timed how long it gets cook. I just make sure it’s on medium heat and watch close til it looks like it’s done.

tocino, anyone?

now, i am hungry.

Thanks to country bob’s all-purpose sauce and looking forward to try out the recipes they sent with the sauce…
