Grilled Pork Barbecue with Rice

Filipino pork barbecue, known as “Inihaw na Baboy” in Tagalog, is a popular street food and party dish in the Philippines. It’s made from skewered pork slices marinated in a sweet and savory mixture, then grilled to perfection. The marinade typically includes a combination of soy sauce, calamansi juice (or lemon juice), brown sugar, garlic, and sometimes banana ketchup or 7UP for added sweetness and tenderness. Once grilled, the pork skewers are often served with a side of garlic fried rice or steamed rice, and a dipping sauce made from vinegar, soy sauce, and chopped onions or chili peppers. This dish is loved for its delicious smoky flavor and tender meat, making it a favorite at Filipino gatherings and celebrations.
