Datu Puti vinegar – also known as sukang maasim – is a sharp and fresh tasting condiment popular in the Philippines. It is made from fermented sugar cane juice, and is similar in character to a rice vinegar. Sukang maasim is a great all round vinegar – use to wash meat or fish before cooking, or to mix with curry powders to make a curry paste. A common way to use the sukang maasim is to add finely chopped chilli and/or spices to make a hot, spicy, tangy dipping sauce. Serve with deep fried prawns or slices of grilled pork for an easy Filipino meal.
