Best Recipe for Lechon Special

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork belly, cut into 6-inch squares
  • 1 gallon vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Hawaiian salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Watch how to make this recipe.
  2. Put the pork belly in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until it fork tender, 1 hour 30 minutes.
  3. Place the pork in a strainer and drain to remove all of the water, 30 minutes.
  4. Add the oil to a deep fryer or Dutch oven and heat to medium-high heat. Fry the pork until golden brown, 30 to 45 minutes. (The thicker the slab of belly, the longer it will take to fry.) Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Chop the pork belly into 1-centimeter-square pieces. Toss the pork belly, onions, tomatoes, fish sauce and Hawaiian salt in a medium mixing bowl. Garnish with green onions.
