Filipino Isaw Recipe
Isaw is a popular Filipino street food featuring skewered chicken or pork intestines marinated in a tangy, savory sauce and grilled over charcoal.
Ingredients
- Chicken or pork intestines - 1 lb
- Soy sauce - 1/4 cup
- Vinegar - 1/4 cup
- Brown sugar - 2 tbsp
- Garlic (minced) - 3 cloves
- Salt - 1 tsp
- Ground black pepper - 1/2 tsp
- Bamboo skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken or pork intestines by thoroughly cleaning them and removing any excess fat or debris.
- Cut the intestines into bite-sized pieces and thread them onto the bamboo skewers.
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper to create the marinade. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved.
- Place the skewered intestines in a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over them, making sure they are evenly coated. Marinate the intestines in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat a grill or charcoal barbecue to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, remove the skewered intestines from the marinade and place them on the grill grates.
- Grill the isaw, turning occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, until they are cooked through and slightly charred on the outside.
- Remove the isaw from the grill and serve immediately with vinegar to dip.
