About Lechon paksiw
Lechon Paksiw is a classic Filipino dish that combines roasted pork, often leftover lechon, with a flavorful blend of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and spices. The meat is simmered until tender and infused with the tangy, savory sauce, which is sometimes sweetened with liver sauce or sugar for balance. While Lechon Paksiw showcases the resourcefulness of Filipino cuisine, its nutritional profile reflects both indulgence and moderation. The dish is high in protein due to the pork, but it can also be rich in fat, especially if made with skin-on or fatty cuts. The vinegar base offers potential health benefits, including aiding digestion, but the addition of salty soy sauce may contribute to higher sodium levels. Lechon Paksiw is best enjoyed as part of a balanced meal, paired with steamed vegetables or a side of rice to temper its richness.
