one filipino dish a week

Guso was one of the things that was heavily anticipated prior to the trip. The ‘rents, The Girl and I were all talking about having to eat this while we were there. Guso is a simple salad that is eaten as a side dish. I love the texture of guso because it is very much like jell-0 but with a slight crunchiness to it. Well come to think of it guso, I believe, is one of the seaweed that is processed to make agar-agar which is then used to make jell-o, toothepaste, etc. This is just the au naturale form of it

The key thing about preparing guso is to get it fresh. A trip to the market in the morning and then to prepare the the guso… Blanch them add vinegar, some tomato, red onion and salt. And enjoy!

The Girl’s uncle showing everyone the perfect way to enjoy guso!
