Treat your ingredients with care...

• Pork belly — Make sure to boil the pork belly until it is tender before grilling it. This will ensure that the meat is cooked properly and becomes crispy when sautéed.
• Calamansi juice — If you can't find calamansi juice, you can substitute it with lime juice for a similar tangy flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of heat, add more chili peppers to suit your taste.
• Serve the Sizzling Pork Sisig with a side of steamed rice to balance out the flavors.
• If you prefer a milder version, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before adding them to the dish.
• You can also add a splash of vinegar to the sisig for a tangier flavor.
• Experiment with different toppings such as crispy fried garlic or chopped spring onions for added texture and freshness.

Serving advice

Serve the Sizzling Pork Sisig immediately after topping it with the fried egg. The sizzling hot plate adds an element of excitement to the dish, and the runny yolk of the fried egg adds a creamy richness when mixed with the sisig.

Presentation advice

Present the Sizzling Pork Sisig on a sizzling hot plate to create a dramatic effect. Garnish it with a sprinkle of chopped spring onions or crispy fried garlic for added visual appeal.
