Puyat

Puyat is a traditional Filipino dish that originated from the Visayas region, particularly in the province of Cebu. The term "puyat" is derived from the Visayan word "puyot," which means "to cut" or "to slice." The dish consists of thinly sliced or shredded meat, typically pork, beef, or chicken, marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, calamansi juice, garlic, and other spices. The meat is then cooked in a wok or pan until it is tender and slightly caramelized. The dish is often served with steamed rice and a side of vegetables, such as green beans or string beans, which are also marinated in the same sauce as the meat. Puyat is known for its savory and slightly sweet flavor, which comes from the combination of soy sauce and calamansi juice. It is a popular dish in the Philippines and is often served as a main course or a side dish. The dish is also a staple in many Filipino restaurants and food stalls, particularly in the Visayas region.
