Instructions

Brine:

Step 1

Start with rubbing black pepper all over the pork and massage soy sauce until fully covered. Marinate for about 30 minutes.

Step 2

In a pot, add all the ingredients for the brine. Then add the marinated pork and top with water just enough to cover the meat. Cook on medium to medium/high heat for about 1 hour. Do not cover the pot.

Step 3

Once done and the pork is tender, drain and let the pork air dry for about 15 minutes. Discard the brine.

Grill/Bake:

Step 4

Grill the pork for about 15 minutes on each side until slightly charred. I like to grill it in my Traeger in 400 deg. The oven is also a good option if a grill is not available.

Step 5

Let stand for about 15 minutes to cool the meat slightly, then dice.

Sisig:

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, mix together diced grilled pork belly, rice vinegar, key lime juice, liquid seasoning, and kewpie.

Step 7

In a wok or pan over high heat, add the pork mixture and let simmer for 2 minutes. Stir to mix once. Crack the egg right on top and sizzle for another minute to allow the egg to cook slightly.

Step 8

Serve on a sizzling plate or platter and garnish with red onions, green onions, and lime wedge. Enjoy!
