Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg pork face or cheeks
- 200 g pork liver
- 1 large onion
- 4 tablespoons calamansi juice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 pieces red chili peppers
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Begin by preparing the pork. Place the pork face or cheeks in a large pot with enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 45 minutes until the pork is tender.
Remove the pork from the pot and allow it to cool down. Once cooled, grill the pork until it turns slightly crispy, then chop into small, fine pieces. Set aside.
In another pot, boil the pork liver in water for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Let it cool down, then chop finely.
Finely chop the onion and the red chili peppers. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped grilled pork, chopped liver, chopped onions, and chopped chili peppers.
Add the calamansi juice, soy sauce, ground black pepper, and salt to the pork mixture. Stir thoroughly to integrate all flavors.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once melted, add the pork mixture and stir-fry for about 10 minutes. Allow the flavors to meld while stirring occasionally.
Mix in the mayonnaise into the sisig, stirring carefully to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the sisig to a sizzling plate heated over a stovetop for a more authentic serving style, or serve directly from the skillet if a sizzling plate is unavailable.
Serve hot with a side of rice or as an appetizer along with some additional calamansi and soy sauce for drizzling.
