Kinilaw, is short for “kini-hilaw”(kini means this, and hilaw means raw), a raw fish or other seafood, or meat, mixed with vinegar or other souring agent like lemon or calamansi. It’s like sushi with vinegar. Vinegar is used as a cooking agent of the raw fresh meat, and also adds a taste to the mix.

1 cup white vinegar
6 tbs calamansi or lemon juice
5 diced tomatoes
1 cup finely minced onion
3 tbs finely minced ginger
1 red capsicum, diced
1 green capsicum, diced
1/4 cup spring onions, minced
salt and pepper to taste
Marinate fish in vinegar for an hour. Drain and mix with lemon juice and all other ingredients. Let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
