Best Tasting Tokwa't Baboy Sauce (Tofu and Pork Sauce)

One of the most favorite Filipino dish is Tokwa't Baboy (Tofu and Pork). This dish compose of fried tofu slice and fried pork (sometimes boiled pork). Usually the tofu and pork are dipped in a tangy, sweet and sour blend of soy sauce with calamansi/lemon or vinegar. Most of the time the taste of the dish depends on how the sauce is made. My own version of the sauce consist of cheap and local ingredients that does not require expensive herbs and spices.
