Tocino!

[-sillybilly-]

Anyone who loves Tocino? I know most of the members here in the forum have tried Tocino in the Philippines.

I have been longing and gagging to have some and all of a sudden a filipino porter in work came up to me and asked if I want to order some Tocino. Of course i said "hell yeah!" Did not even asked how much.

Soon as I got home from work, cooked some rice, fried the tocino and fried a couple of eggs! :hubbahubba: Felt like i was back home having my dinner ! Sweet!:Jump:

[Terpe]

If I'm honest, I can't find anything good to say about Tocino at all. Sorry :icon_sorry:
I'll avoid them at all costs.

My wife loves Tocino :Erm:

yes i miss the local tocino in the PH..:hubbahubba:
I just make my own tocino... ham or bits of bacon soaked in brown sugar and add loads of garlic stay in the fridge for a couple of days then fry it up ..it doesnt taste the same because no preservatives but it will do sometimes:biggrin::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Actually,I quite like Tocino even though its on the sweet side..
Obviously I prefer my homemade hams and bacon but make Tocino every now and again..

Here`s a recipe..

Pork Tocino Recipe, makes six servings
1 lb pork butt or pork shoulder, sliced thinly into 1/8-inch thick strips
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 teaspoon red beet powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more as needed
Combine sugar, salt and red beet powder in a small bowl. Liberally rub the pork with the curing mixture and place in a container or zip top bag large enough to hold everything together. Add whatever is left of the sugar, salt, and red beet powder and refrigerate for two days.
After the second day, the cured pork can be either pan-fried or grilled. When pan-frying, heat the oil in a large pan over medium-to-high heat. Pan-fry the pork slices for two to three minutes on each side, until cooked through and browned. Transfer to a plate and continue frying the remaining pork slices. When grilling, grill the pork slices for two to three minutes on each side, until nicely charred.

Sounds delicious

My husband makes me his homemade tocino and he can make some longanisa as well. He is a very good English chef.

I used to love eating tocino in the Phils, though its unnatural boneless texture and abnormal pink hue definitely gave me some pause! - The chicken tocino tended to look a bit more natural, and was similarly delicious! Either way, I'm sure the mass-produced versions of both come loaded with way too many chemicals, so I always tried to make sure to not get too addicted to it! :biggrin:

I love tocino. My uncle bought me some in taguig and it was probably the best one I ever had. I was eating it in breakfast, lunch and dinner for 3 days until I have non left.

I didn't like the ready made one from the chinese shop in the UK, too much fat and sugar for my liking. So I tried making my own, bought a packet of tocino mix (mama sita brand I think) + top quality pork but the result is not so good lol.
