When I was still a child, I remember how strict my mom was when it comes to the food I eat. She made sure that the food I put inside my mouth is clean. Because of this, she would really find time to cook our food. One of my favorite Filipino foods that she makes is tokwa’t baboy. We usually pair it with Arroz Caldo or porridge. Such a perfect combination, indeed!

Since Tokwa’t baboy is one of my favorite foods, so I asked my mom to write down the things I need and the steps on how to make it. Here is how to cook Tokwa’t baboy:
