• 500g chicken intestines, cleaned very thoroughly
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp vinegar
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp pepper
• bamboo skewers
• spiced vinegar to dip

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Clean the intestines exhaustively — turn them inside out, rinse repeatedly with salt, and rinse again. This is the whole job.
2. Boil them 20 min with a bay leaf, then cool.
3. Thread onto skewers in a concertina.
4. Marinate at least 2 hrs in the soy, vinegar, sugar, garlic and pepper.
5. Grill over charcoal, basting often, until the edges char and crisp, about 8 min.
6. Dunk in spiced vinegar. Classic Filipino street food, sold outside schools at 4pm.
