So, what is tapa?
Tapa is a popular Filipino dish made from thinly sliced meat, often beef or pork, that is marinated in a sweet and savory mixture of soy sauce, calamansi juice, garlic, and sugar. The meat is then dried under the sun or air-dried until it becomes firm and chewy. Tapa can be enjoyed as a main dish served with rice and egg for breakfast or as an ingredient in various Filipino recipes such as tapa fried rice and tapa wraps. Its unique blend of flavors makes it a delicious and versatile ingredient in Filipino cuisine, loved by many for its tender texture and distinct taste.
