Spiced vinegar is a type ofPhilippinevinegar condiment that is made of vinegar e.g. fermented coconut sap (Cebuano:sukang tuba)[1] infused with spices primarilybird's eye chili and garlic.
A variation of spiced vinegar was popularized by Rene Jose B. Stuart del Rosario ofIligan 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 nameSukang Pinakurat (derived from theCebuano wordkurat, meaning to "surprise" or "frighten").[2] Due to its popularity, the Stuart del Rosario family in 2004 had registered trademarks forsukang pinakurat,sukang waykurat, andsukang kuratsoy with theIntellectual Property Office of the Philippines.[3]

In Filipino households, this condiment is used on many assorted dishes, mostly fried dishes (includeslumpiang prito) andlechon.[4]
Others may know it as Sukang Pinakurat [a derivative of the Cebuano word "kurat" which means "surprise" or "frighten"]. But a lawyer-friend said some people might just create an issue out of it.
