Notes
- The biggest mistake when preparing Sinuglaw is using too much vinegar, which can make the dish too sour and overpower the natural flavors of the tuna and pork. If this happens, you can fix it by adding more tuna, grilled pork, or vegetables like cucumber and onion to balance the taste. Another option is to add a small amount of sugar.
