Preparation

Prepare the Crispy Pork Belly (Lechon Kawali Style)
5 hours and 30 minutes
1. Rinse and clean well the pork belly under running water. If it’s bone-in, try to make some incisions in between the bones.
2. Place everything (except the vegetable oil for frying) in a pressure cooker, cover it with the lid, and secure the pressure cooker by locking it.
3. Bring to a boil and when it whistles, lower the heat just enough to maintain the whistle. Continue cooking for 30 to 45 minutes or until the meat is very tender.
4. As soon as you let the steam release, you may now open the lid carefully.
5. Let the pork belly cool down together with the stock so that it can absorb more of the flavor.
6. Remove the meat from the stock and place it in a rack. Make sure to reserve the strained pork stock.
7. Optional: If you have a jacquard, you may poke the pork skin several times.
8. Let it dry at room temperature for at least 1 hour then place it inside the chiller uncovered to continue the drying for another hour.
9. Once done, remove the chilled pork belly slab from the chiller at ambient temperature.
10. Meanwhile, pour the vegetable oil into a deep-frying pot. Do not go more than half of the pot to avoid the oil overflowing during the frying process. Heat the oil until it reaches 150 to 160ᵒC or in low to medium heat.
11. Blanch fry the pork slabs for 3 to 5 minutes. Make sure that it is completely submerged in the hot fat and forms small and tiny blisters but is not yet crispy.
12. Remove the fried pork from the oil and drain well. Place in a rack, skin side-up then set aside to cool down properly. Clean the oil in the pot by straining the impurities of fallen meats.
13. In the same frying pot of oil, apply high heat until your temperature reaches 190 to 200ᵒC. During this temperature, you can already see a cloud of smoke from your pot of oil and that’s when you submerge your pork belly slabs.
14. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes only to avoid a bitter taste and dark black color. If done right, big and small blisters would result throughout the belly skin. 15. Rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving to achieve maximum crispiness.
