Spiced vinegar is a type of Philippine vinegar condiment made of vinegar, e.g. fermented coconut sap (Cebuano: sukang tuba),[1] infused with spices, primarily siling labuyo and garlic.
A variation of spiced vinegar was popularized by Rene Jose B. Stuart del Rosario of Iligan City in 2000 where the spices are finely chopped possibly with the use of a blender or food processor. This is now a mass-produced product under the brand name Sukang Pinakurat (derived from the Cebuano word kurat, meaning to "surprise" or "frighten").[2] In 2004, due to its popularity, the Stuart del Rosario family registered trademarks for sukang pinakurat, sukang waykurat, and sukang kuratsoy with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines.[3]
Flavor and uses
In Filipino households, this condiment is used on many assorted dishes, mostly fried dishes (including lumpiang prito) and lechon.[4]
