Easy Lechon Kawali (Filipino Crispy Fried Pork Belly)

Dive into the rich flavors of pork belly or ribs, expertly seasoned and fried to golden brown perfection.

INGREDIENTS

- Pork Velly or Whole Pork Ribs with Meat - Bay leaves - Peppercorn - Garlic

In a large pot, combine pork belly, garlic, shallots, bay leaves, peppercorn, pork cubes (if using), and salt. Add enough water to cover the pork belly.

1

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the pork is fork-tender, typically around 60 minutes, depending on the size.

2

Remove the pork from the pot and allow it to drain. For optimal crispiness, air-dry the pork for at least 30 minutes or until the skin is no longer moist.

3

Heat enough cooking oil for deep frying in a pan or wok over medium-high heat. Carefully place the pork belly into the hot oil, ensuring the skin side is down.
