Ingredients

  • 100 grams dried guso (sea moss)
  • 2 pieces shallots or 1 small onion
  • 1 piece tomato
  • 1 thumb-sized ginger
  • 1 ½ cup coconut milk (see notes)
  • ½ cup vinegar or sinamak
  • 1 lemon or 5 pieces calamansi
  • 1-3 teaspoon salt
  • Cold water
  • Red chillies optional
  • Green onions to garnish

Instructions

  • Soak guso in cold water for 30-60 minutes.
  • Drain the water from the guso, then rinse a few times. Cut the guso into smaller bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  • Combine the shallots, tomato, ginger, coconut milk, vinegar, lemon, and salt. You may also add chilies.
  • Add the guso to the vinegar mixture. Mix until well combined.
  • Garnish with green onions then serve.

Notes

  • Rinse the guso (sea moss) well because there is some remaining sand and tiny stones.
  • You may replace coconut milk with the same amount of vinegar, if you do not like coconut milk in it.
