Sinuglaw (Sinugba and Kinilaw) Recipe

Sinuglaw Recipe

Ever wondered about how you’re going to choose between the sharp tartness of a good kinilaw with the smoky, meaty goodness of char-grilled liempo for a meal? This recipe combines two firm Filipino favorites in one recipe, topping the refreshing, palate-cleansing sauce of freshly-made tuna kinilaw, with the rich taste of grilled pork belly. With plenty of chopped chilies to add some heat and the crunch of red onions and cucumbers to add a contrast to the dish, this is definitely a winner if you serve it as a viand—you may end up having to make a lot more as this combination is sure to have people scooping up more sinuglaw onto their plates! Serve this with lots of hot rice, of course—and an ice-cold beer or soda would not be amiss. It’s perfect for parties or potluck celebrations as it keeps well and serves plenty of people!
