Recipe below! Sweet and Sour Tofu served with #Dalisay rice and some sautéed bok choy.
If it isn’t already obvious, we Filipinos love rice. So I was really excited when I received some Dalisay rice from @renucciriceph, which is locally grown and sourced from local partner farmers in Leyte in Visayas. Leyte was one of the top producers of rice in the country yet it was left badly damaged after typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) struck in 2013. What Patrick and Rachel of @renucciriceph is doing is beyond amazing because they left their home in Paris and opened a rice processing plant in Leyte to help the local farmers and provide them a sustainable source of livelihood. I also can’t stress enough how important it is to support locally grown rice (and also other produce!) since it of course supports our local farmers who grow the food we eat on our tables. It’s also so nice knowing where our rice comes from. ‘Dalisay’ the #RiceoftheFilipinos ??? from Renucci Rice is all natural and straight from the source, and it’s now available in leading supermarkets in Metro Manila!
