Sinamak (Spiced Vinegar) is of Visayan origin. Made with chilis (commonly siling labuyo), langkawas, garlic, peppercorns, and white onion pickled for at least three days.

Langkawas (Alpinia galanga) is a plant in the ginger family that bears a rhizome used largely as an herb in medicine and as a spice in Arab cuisine and Southeast Asian cookery. It is one of four plants known as “galangal”. Its common names include greater galangal, lengkuas, and blue ginger. Since this is not very common, we will use lemongrass as a substitute.
