Instructions:- Boil the Pork:
- In a pot, boil the pork belly (or pig’s face/ears) with water and a pinch of salt. Let it simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until the pork is tender but not falling apart. Drain and let it cool.
- Grill the Pork:
- Once the pork has cooled down, grill it over medium heat until crispy and lightly charred on the outside. This adds a smoky flavor to the dish.
- After grilling, chop the pork into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Sauté the Aromatics:
- In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onions until fragrant and softened.
- Mix the Pork and Liver:
- Add the chopped pork to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes.
- Stir in the liver spread (or chopped pig liver) and cook until everything is well combined.
- Season the Sisig:
- Add soy sauce, calamansi juice (or lemon juice), ground black pepper, and chopped chilies. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust the taste by adding salt, soy sauce, or more calamansi as needed.
- Optional: Add Mayonnaise
- For a creamy version of sisig, mix in a tablespoon of mayonnaise at this point.
- Serve on a Sizzling Plate:
- Heat a sizzling plate and melt a tablespoon of butter. Once hot, transfer the cooked sisig onto the plate.
- Optionally, crack an egg on top of the sizzling sisig and let it cook in the residual heat of the plate.
- Final Touch:
- Serve the sisig hot with extra calamansi on the side for drizzling. It pairs perfectly with rice or as a savory appetizer.
