Filipino-Style Fried Pork Belly

Ingredients:

• 900 g pork belly, cut into 15 cm squares.
• 4 liters of vegetable oil for frying
• 0.5 cup diced onion
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 0.5 tsp Hawaiian salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, for serving

Preparation:

1. Place the pork belly in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer until tender, about 1.5 hours.
2. Place the pork in a sieve and let the water drain completely, 30 minutes.
3. Pour oil into a deep fryer or Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat. Fry the pork until golden brown, 30–45 minutes. The thicker the pork, the longer it will take to cook. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
4. Cut the brisket into 1 cm squares. In a medium bowl, combine the brisket, onion, tomatoes, fish sauce, and Hawaiian salt. Sprinkle with green onions.
