A deliciously irresistible treat that brings back fond memories, perfect for family gatherings or casual weekend meals.
Equipment
- Pot
- Deep Frying Pan
Ingredients
For the Crispy Fried Liempo
- 1 kg liempo (pork belly)
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 2 cups water
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Step 1: In a pot, combine the liempo, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and water.
- Step 2: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the pork is tender.
- Step 3: After simmering, remove the liempo from the pot and let it cool. Pat it dry with paper towels to ensure extra crispiness when frying.
- Step 4: Next, heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Step 5: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the liempo slices. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Step 6: Remove the crispy liempo from the oil and let it drain on paper towels.
- Step 7: Serve hot and enjoy your deliciously crispy fried liempo!
Notes
Make sure to dry the liempo well after boiling; excess moisture can prevent it from getting crispy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
