Lechon Kawali (Crispy Pan-fried Roasted Pork)


Lechon kawali is a Filipino classic dish made of deep-fried pork belly.
The term "lechon" refers to a roasted pig 
and "kawali" is a Filipino word for a wok or a deep frying pan.
This is one of my favorite Filipino dish.
Paired with rice and pickled papaya, 
its yum! yum! yum!



You will need:
  • Pork Belly with skin intact (liempo)
  • Water for boiling
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cooking oil for deep-frying

Preparation:

Step 1: In a pot, boil pork belly in water seasoned with salt. Cook until tender. Drain.

Step 2: Pat-dry meat with paper towel ( to avoid oil splattering when frying). Season with 
              pepper and add more salt if desired.

Step 3: Heat oil in pan. Deep-fry (make sure the meat is covered with oil) until meat is 
              golden brown in color and skin is crispy.

Step 4: Cut into bite-size and serve hot. Pair with pickled papaya. Enjoy!
