  4.2 – 5 reviews  • Pork
Level: Easy
Total: 3 hr 45 min
Active: 1 hr
Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds pork belly, cut into 6-inch squares
  2. 1 gallon vegetable oil, for frying
  3. 1/2 cup diced onions
  4. 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  5. 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  6. 1/2 teaspoon Hawaiian salt
  7. 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Place the pork in a strainer and drain to remove all of the water, 30 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Delicious! Just like what I’ve enjoyed in Filipino restaurants. The pork belly I bought was already diced in about one inch cubes but it still worked out well. Really an easy yummy dish.
