Tokwa't Baboy
''Tokwa't baboy'' ( Tagalog for "tofu and pork") is a typical Philippine appetizer. It consists of pork ears, pork belly and deep-fried tofu, and is served in a mixture of soy sauce, pork broth, vinegar, chopped white onions, scallions and red chili peppers. It is usually served as ''pulutan'' ("snack", lit. tran: "finger food"), as a meal served with rice or as a side dish to rice porridge. ''Tokwa'' is the Lan-nang word for firm beancurd, while ''baboy'' is the Tagalog word for pork; t'' is the contracted form of ''at'', which means "and". The original dish (without the tofu) is known as ''kulao'' or ''kilawin na tainga ng baboy'' among the Caviteño Tagalogs. It is a type of ''kinilaw''. For this reason, ''tokwa't baboy'' is sometimes referred to as ''kilawing tokwa't baboy''.

Tofu Dishes
Tofu (), also known as bean curd in English, is a food prepared by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into solid white blocks of varying softness; it can be ''silken'', ''soft'', ''firm'', ''extra firm'' or ''super firm''. Beyond these broad textural categories, there are many varieties of tofu. It has a subtle flavor, so it can be used in savory and sweet dishes. It is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish and its flavors, and due to its spongy texture, it absorbs flavors well. It is a traditional component of East Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines, and has been consumed in China for over 2,000 years. In modern western cooking, it is most often treated as a meat substitute. Nutritionally, tofu is low in calories, while containing a relatively large amount of protein. It is high in iron, and can have a high calcium or magnesium content depending on the coagulants (e.g. calcium chloride, calcium sulphate, magnesium sulphate) used in manufacturin ...
