Lechon Kawali | How To Make Filipino Crispy Pork

pork belly

🥗Healthier: pork tenderloin

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Pork tenderloin is leaner while pork shoulder is more affordable.

Boil the pork belly in a pot of water with salt, pepper, bay leaves, garlic, and onion until tender.

Remove the pork belly from the pot and let it cool completely.

Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Deep-fry the pork belly until golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Let rest for a few minutes before slicing into pieces.

Serve with liver sauce, vinegar, or soy sauce with calamansi.
