How to Make Sizzling Pork Sisig

  1. Rinse 1 lb pork ears and 1 lb pork jowls thoroughly. Place in a large pot, cover with water, add 2 tbsp salt and 5 peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1.5 - 2 hours, or until very tender.
  2. During the last 10 minutes of simmering the pork, add 1/2 lb pork liver (optional).
  3. Carefully remove pork ears, jowls, and liver from the pot. Let cool completely (about 30 minutes).
  4. Preheat your broiler to high. Place pork ears and jowls on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until slightly crispy.
  5. Broil the liver for 5-7 minutes, ensuring it's cooked through but not dry. (Optional)
  6. Roughly chop the cooled pork ears and jowls. Finely chop the liver (if using).
  7. Heat 2 tbsp cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sauté 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 1/2 bell pepper (chopped), and 1-2 red chilies (minced) until softened (about 5 minutes).
  8. Add the chopped pork ears and jowls to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5 minutes.
  9. Season generously with 4 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp kalamansi juice (or lime juice).
  10. Add the chopped liver (if using) and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  11. Transfer the sisig to a preheated sizzling plate.
  12. Top with 1 fried egg per serving, and mix gently while still hot.
  13. Serve immediately with mayonnaise (optional) on the side or drizzled on top.
