filipino BBQ

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

My babysitter when I was little was a filipina who used to make the most amazing BBQ. I haven't had it for years but I started to think about it recently and decided I had to have it again. The thing I remember was that the marinade was really simple - I think just water, brown sugar and soy sauce? - but so delicious.

Anyway, I have been perusing the web looking for something like it and haven't quite found anything that simple. I don't recall it having onions, garlic or tomatoes which a lot of these online recipes call for. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Is there a killer ingredient that makes it really tasty? Anyone have any good recipes?

This is my mother's BBQ recipe that I blogged few years back. You can try if you want.

Let me know how it turned out.

Dan, I am not sure that BBQ sauce would be good on that, but if you like it...

I am ashamed of myself, but I am laughing at the same time

My neighbors were filipino...I ate over there a few times and they would usually have pork and white rice.

Now a friend of mine was Korean and when I looked in his mom's fridge there were very strange things in medium sized jars. Looked like brains of some sort..

They add soy sauce and vinegar (toyo suka) to just about everything, so that's probably the killer ingredient(s) you are looking for in just the right amounts. You can find Filipino brand soy sauce and vinegar at most Asian markets (like 99 Ranch).

Cathy...Thanks for sharing your mom's recipe for marinade and BBQ sauce. It looks delicious and I'm going to try it.

^^^ Yum...that's making me drool.

Chinook and I buy sticks of BBQ at the Seafood City Grill for $1.75 per stick. That's expensive. I think we'll start making our own using Cathy's mom's recipe.

Our recipe is very close to the one in the blog other than instead of ketchup we use Jufran, bannana sauce.

I use sprite or mountain dew and it's yummy!

my marinade is just a simple mix of soy sauce and vinegar with ground black peppers. filipino soy sauce like silven swan and datu puti white vinegar is what i use. marinate the meat in it overnight and while on the grill, just brushing the marinade every so often on the meat as it cooks.
