Enjoy our Crispy Pork Binagoongan, a delectable Filipino dish featuring tender, fried pork belly bathed in a savory-sweet shrimp paste sauce, creating a harmonious blend of crispy textures and rich, bold flavors that dance tantalizingly on the palate with each satisfying bite.
Place peppercorns, garlic, onion, bay leaf, and lechon kawali in a pot with six cups of water and boil until pork is tender (but not falling apart), about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When done air dry the meat and set aside.
In a pan over medium heat, cook vegetable oil and sauté garlic and onions until fragrant and translucent. Add tomato, cooking until soft and mashed. Add in the shrimp paste and cook, stirring constantly for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add vinegar and allow to boil for about 3 to 5 minutes without stirring and reducing. Afterwards, stir then season with pepper.
Place a pot with oil enough for frying over medium heat. Fry the lechon kawali until crispy.
Chop and serve with the binagoongan sauce.
