I love KrisTv, a Filipino lifestyle program. I do avidly watch Kris Aquino cooks. I noticed that she loves adding a vinegar that looks like it has a lot of solids of various colours and textures floating on it. Apparently this special suka or vinegar was from Pokwang’s very own recipe.
I read through the ingredients and it does sound delicious.

Note: I am not sure how long you can keep this vinegar as it was not mentioned, but I reckon it will last a good few weeks if stored in the fridge.
Cheers Pokwang and Kris!!!

Method of Preparation:1. Pour the vinegar in a bowl. 2. Add the brown sugar and fish sauce. 3. Stir until the granules of the sugar are dissolved. 4. Add the slices of ginger 5. Add the garlic and onions. 6. Drop the chilli into the mixture., 7. Season with black pepper 8. Now, add the sliced cucumber 9. Give it a good stir to incorporate the solids with the liquid. 10. Transfer into a pickling jar to be kept in the fridge until needed to be used for cooking and drizzling in salad. Apparently, it is ideal to leave Pokwang’s vinegar for 2-3 days, to give it enough time for the solids to marinate. Just as I thought, it can be kept for ages in the fridge. |
Could I buy some of Pokwang’s suka? Where can I buy some kaya? ?
Why not contact her directly via her youtube channel called Poklee Cooking Official? Cheers
Hello can I use the traditional Ilocano vinegar? As we have plenty of it as my mother is making abundant ilocano vinegar for market and I want to make some twist of it to try this recipe.
You could certainly try. I love Ilocano vinegar made from sugar cane/basi.
Hi I tried the recipe and reduced the fish sauce to half cup and it taste good.. Yesterday, I tried it again and want to use it everyday. So what I did to stay it longer, I removed the onion and cucumber and will just add it (cucumber & onion) 1 to 2 days before I will use it… 😀
thank you for that tip.
I also added 1 and 1/2 cup of water to balance the sourness of vinegar and additional 1/2 cup of sugar it was great!
Thank you for your tip!
Hi Miss Jean, pede ko po bang malaman anong klaseng vinegar ang gagamitin? Will Del Monte’s cane vinegar be okay?
Hi Diane
Cane vinegar is good.
Post us a photo of your effort.
Good luck
Cheers
Sis, Hindi ba masyado madami Yung 1 cup of fish sauce? Na try mo Na ba to?
Yep, tried and tested and it was so masarap. I cup of fish sauce sounds too much but there’s 4 cups of strong vinegar as well as a cup of brown sugar.
Please try making it and come back to us for your review.
Thanks, Jeanette.
