Grilling
- Remove the meat after one hour and use paper towels to pat dry.
- Heat the charcoal grill and then grill your pork belly and pig face meat on medium to medium high heat (control your coals!) until the meat has a nice chargrill texture without being completely blackened.
Sisig
- Place the meat onto a cutting board and chop them up into small pieces, about ¼ of an inch sized.
- In a heated cast iron pan over the grill (or over medium on the stove), add the vegetable oil and saute the garlic for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the chopped meat and stir. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the meat begins to crisp on the edges. Move the pan off the grill or stove.
- Add the onions, soy sauce, calamansi (or limes) juice, salt, and pepper and stir with the meat and garlic. Immediately transfer to a serving container like a sizzling platter.
- Serve with more calamansi or limes and enjoy.
