Lechon Kawali Recipe

Pour water on cooking pot. Boil

Step 2

Add the pork belly and 1 tablespoon of salt. Put some pepper pepper and bay leaves. Boil for 30 minutes or until meat gets tender

Step 3

Remove the meat from the pot and let it cool down for a few minutes

Step 4

Spread 1 tablespoon of salt on the pork belly. Make sure to distribute it evenly on all sections

Step 5

Start to deep fry the boiled meat. Heat oil on a cooking pot.

Step 6

Put each piece of boiled pork belly into the hot oil with extra caution. Fry until crispy. Turn the meat over to completely fry the opposite side until crispy. Note: be extra careful when frying as oil can splatter. You can use the cover of the pot to cover it while oil splatters, but do not cover completely as steam will be trapped. It will cause more splatters.
