Method
- In a pot, combine the pork, water, bay leaf, peppercorns and salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the pork is tender. Let cool slightly and cut into bite-sized pieces if needed.
- Pat the tofu dry and fry in hot oil until golden and crisp on all sides. Drain on paper towels.
- In a bowl, mix together the vinegar, soy sauce, onion, garlic, chilies and sugar if using. Adjust the balance of sour, salty and sweet to your taste.
- Just before serving, toss the pork and tofu with the sauce, or arrange on a plate and pour the sauce over. Serve as pulutan or with lugaw.
