Crispy Pan-Roasted Pork












Yes! Another busy day in the kitchen! Well this time, I'm cooking "Pan-Roasted Pork" or popularly known as "Lechon Kawali" in the Philippines. The trick here is to put lemon grass while boiling the pork so your Lechon Kawali smells like real lechon.
Enjoy this recipe!


Ingredients:
  • 1 kilo pork liempo (pork belly), cut into serving pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp. peppercorns
  • 2 tbsp. salt
  • water, for boiling
  • oil, for frying
  • lemon grass
Sauce
  • 1 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2-1/2 tbsp. vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • chili peppers (optional)
Cooking Procedures :
  1. Put pork pieces in a big pot. Cover with water. Add garlic, peppercorn, lemon grass and salt.
  2. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for an hour or until meat is tender. Drain and dry completely for crispy frying.
  3. Deep-fry liempo pieces in batches until golden brown and blisters appear on skin.
  4. Drain on paper towels.
  5. To make the sauce, just mix all the sauce ingredients.
And there you have it, your crispy, yummy lechon kawali! Enjoy!☺
