ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Paksiw

Paksiw is a yummy food from the Philippines that is made with fish, pork, or chicken. It's a bit sour and salty and tastes really good with rice. It's like making a yummy sauce to cook your meat in! First, you take your meat and clean it really well. Then you mix vinegar, water, soy sauce, and spices like garlic and peppercorns together in a pot. You put your meat in the pot and let it simmer until it's cooked all the way through. The vinegar in the pot makes the meat tender and adds a tangy flavor to the dish. Sometimes, people even add vegetables like eggplant or okra to their paksiw to make it even more yummy!
