Sinuglaw: Filipino Dish

[jjsuh]

Whenever I want to eat pork & fish together, there's one go-to Filipino dish that solves this craving— Sinuglaw. It is a delicious Filipino dish that combines grilled pork belly (sinugba) and ceviche-style fish (kinilaw). So I'm sharing here a simplified recipe to serve 5 people:

Ingredients:​

• 250g pork belly, thinly sliced
• 250g fresh white fish fillets (such as tuna or tanigue), cubed
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 cucumber, seeded and diced
• 2-3 chili peppers (siling labuyo), finely chopped (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 cup calamansi juice or lime juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped spring onions or cilantro for garnish (optional)
• Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Pork Belly:
   • Season the thinly sliced pork belly with salt and pepper.
   • Grill or pan-fry the pork belly slices until cooked through and slightly charred. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Fish Kinilaw:
   • In a bowl, combine the cubed fish fillets, chopped onion, diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, and chopped chili peppers.
   • Add calamansi juice (or lime juice) and soy sauce to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the amount of chili peppers according to your preferred level of spiciness.
   • Let the fish mixture marinate in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
3. Assemble the Sinuglaw:
   • Once the fish mixture has marinated, combine it with the grilled pork belly slices in a large bowl.
   • Gently toss the mixture to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
4. Serve:
   • Transfer the sinuglaw to a serving platter or individual bowls.
   • Garnish with chopped spring onions or cilantro, if desired.
   • Serve immediately, optionally with ice cubes on the side to keep it chilled.

Enjoy your flavorful and refreshing Sinuglaw with your friends and family!
