Notes
Recipe Notes:
- Some people find toyu too salty, so it’s best to soak it in water for a few minutes before frying. Be sure to dry it with a paper towel to avoid oil splatter.
- If soaking in water is not your favorite thing to get rid of too much salt, you can prepare a vinegar dip which is basically vinegar to balance the salt.
- One way to avoid the smell lingering around the house is to use an air fryer or oven to cook it to contain the pungent smell.
- If you live abroad, you can find tuyo in Filipino grocery stores, Asian Stores, or online retailers.
