Thirsty Thursays with Snor
Easy Fried Tokwa't Tokwa (Tofu&Tofu) Pulutan Recipe paired with our favorite San Miguel Pale Pilsen
What makes this an quick and easy recipe is that we are skipping one main ingredient from the original Tokwa't Baboy (Fried Tofu and Pork dish). Don't be mad. We will top it with some tasty sauce. It is also great for your vegetarian friend sharing a drink with you. We will pair it with San Miguel Pale Pilsen since Pilsners go great with food with its light body. The sweet and tart sauce from the tofu will be coupled with the bittersweet taste of this Filipino classic beer.
