Filipino Sisig

Prepare all of your ingredients in advance – mince the tenderloin and prep your veggies and spices.

Into a large skillet, add the canola oil and bring it to a medium-high heat. Add the minced pork, and give a good stir. The goal while cooking the pork is to get a nice crisp on the pork, but not over cook it. Keep stirring the pork until you have reached this crispy consistency. In the Philippines, they serve sisig on a sizzling plate which adds to the crispness.

Mix the packet of seasoning with the water, and mix well.

Into a bowl, add in the remaining ingredients, top with the sauce and then the cooked pork, and mix well. Taste. Taste again.

The packet of seasoning really did the trick – I’m sold on Mama Sita’s seasoning packets. The result is a sour spiciness and texture that is so addicting you will come back for more. A perfect snack, and a perfect dish to serve up with some nice cold beer. I brought this to a party when our cousin’s mom had just flown in from the Philippines. She said she loved it, and actually had some for breakfast the following day. I guess Mama Sita did it right. Enjoy.
