 Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs pork liempo (pork belly) 3 garlic cloves, crushed 2 laurel leaves (bay leaves) 1 teaspoon peppercorns or 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon salt water, for boiling oil (for deep frying)
Sauce: 3 tablespoons soy sauce 5 tablespoons vinegar 1 shallot, minced or 1 small onion, minced 1 garlic clove, minced 1-2 pcs chili peppers (optional)
Procedure: Boil the pork belly together with garlic, bay leafs, peppercorns, salt and water over medium flame until the meat is tender but not disintegrated. Take out meat from the water and drain. Season with salt and pepper and air dry for a few hours or until moisture from the meat is gone. Do not skip this procedure because it will save you from impending kitchen disasters like the splattering of hot cooking oil all over the place and some explosion of the moisture trying to get released from the meat. Air drying ( do not desiccate ) the meat in front of an electric fan with occasional patting on it using kitchen towels will speed-up the process. Before frying, poke holes into the skin using the sharp point of a knife. This will create the blisters on the skin when fried. Deep-fry in hot oil, use plenty of it (practically let the meat swim in it) until the meat is golden brown and the skin |
