TOCINO RECIPE
Most of the time, tocino is made of pork, but it can also be a chicken tocino. It is commonly served at breakfast and paired with fried rice and egg. We call it 'tosilog' which means tocino, sinangag (fried rice) and itlog (egg).

Steps:
- Slice the meat thinly. 1/4 inch (0.6 cm)-thick slices or 1/8 inch (0.3 cm)-thick pieces if you want it to be extra thin. Make sure to remove all bones.
- In a big bowl, combine all ingredients except for the pork slices. Mix until well blended. Instead of the food coloring, you can use a teaspoon of red beet powder if you'd like.
- Add the pork and mix using the hand, use hand gloves to avoid stains. Mix for several minutes to an hour.
- Place the pork in a zip-seal bag or a closed plastic container and place it in the fridge for three days to ensure that the pork is fully cured.
- Afterwards, you can fry the cured meat with a little bit of oil or boil in water (just enough to cover the meat). You can serve it with fried eggs and fried rice.
