• servings: 3 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp distilled white vinegar

2 tbsp water

1/2 tbsp Calamansi juice or 1 tbsp lemon juice

Ground pepper

1-2 tsp sugar (adjust to desired sweetness)

2-3 siling labuyo (, bird’s eye chiles, or other chiles of choice)

1 medium tomato (diced)

1 medium red onion (diced)

Fried or air fried extra firm tofu

Steamed rice

Other grilled and fried food!

Directions

Mix the soy sauce, vinegar, water, calamansi juice, pepper, and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Add the chiles, tomatoes, onions. Mix well and feel free to adjust to your taste.

I had mine with air-fried tokwa or extra firm tofu and soaked the tofu with the sauce so the tofu absorbs the flavour! I love scooping the onions and tomatoes over the tomato and love it with steamed rice.

This is great with fried extra firm tofu/tofwa, other deep fried dishes (with a subtle taste), and grilled dishes!
