Give your chicken tocino a new twist

Filipinos love tocino, that’s for sure. This piece of sweet meat has been part of nearly everyone’s all-day breakfast menu and grocery list. The perfect way to eat this, is of course, with tocino’s traditional partners – fried rice and egg on the side. True blue tocilog. However, if you’re looking to expand your palate horizons and experiment with everyone’s favorite tocino, we have just the right thing for you. Below are delicious new ways that you can enjoy it.

Tocino Omurice

You’ll need:

• Your favorite garlic rice or fried rice
• Egg
• Japanese mayo
• Slices of cooked tocino

Give your tocino a Japanese twist. Omurice is a popular dish in western-style Japanese cafés consisting of fried rice encased in a thin layer of scrambled eggs. Mix in thinly sliced cooked tocino to your favorite fried or garlic rice for a flavorful filling to your delicately seasoned scrambled eggs. Top it with a bit of Japanese mayo and you’ve got a complete meal!

Salad toppings

You’ll need:

• Salad greens
• A tangy vinaigrette or light Caesar dressing
• Well-done crumbled cooked tocino

Instead of crumbled bacon, top your green salad with juicy tocino bits. With this added richness in flavor, you won’t need to add large amounts of dressing. A tangy vinaigrette does go well with this, but light creamy dressings are also good options.

Tocino wraps

You’ll need:

• Pita or soft taco wraps
• Fresh lettuce
• Thinly sliced cooked tocino
• Asian dressing or atsara

Pita wraps are a versatile way for grab and go meals! Wrap and roll your lettuce and tocino strips for a quick meal when you’re busy. For an added dimension of flavor, add tangy atsara or Asian dressing. If you miss samgyeopsal, another version of the wrap could mimic the grilled meat favorite by wrapping tocino in lettuce with a bit of garlic.

Breaded tocino

You’ll need:

• Your mom’s best breading recipe
• Garlic rice
• Your best vinegar dip recipe

Beat some batter together and create a crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside breaded tocino, similar to your favorite breaded pork chops or chicken fingers. It’s like a surprise inside when biting into contrasting textures and tastes. Perfect with garlic rice and a vinegar dipping sauce.

Breakfast bread

You’ll need:

• Your favorite breakfast goodies like pancakes, biscuits, or plain muffins
• A good serving of cooked tocino

Tocino is usually a regular at the breakfast table because of its ease of preparation. If you’re into pancakes, biscuits, or breakfast muffins in the morning, you’ll find that tocino goes well with these breakfast table goodies, not just rice.

You’ll love tocino in all these different ways outside of its classic silog identity. Despite a very distinct flavor and appearance, tocino is unexpectedly versatile when it comes to combining its flavor and texture with other food items outside of eggs and rice.
