Pork Dinakdakan

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. liempo pork belly
  • ½ cup Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Knorr Liquid Seasoning
  • 2 to 3 pieces lime or 5 to 6 pieces calamansi
  • 2 pieces red onion sliced into thin pieces
  • 10 pieces Thai chili peppers chopped
  • 3 pieces long green pepper sliced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder optional
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ quarts water

Instructions

  • Boil water in a cooking pot.
  • Add pork belly. Cover and continue to boil in medium heat for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove the pork belly from the pot. Let it cool. Note: you may use the pork stock (water used to boil liempo) to cook other dishes.
  • Rub 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper over the pork belly. Let it stay for 10 minutes.
  • Heat-up the grill. Grill each side for a total of 6 minutes. Note: I usually grill one side for 2 minutes, turn the belly over and grill the opposite side for the same time. The process is repeated 2 to 3 times. This will prevent the pork belly from being burnt.
  • Slice the pork belly into thin pieces and arrange in a large mixing bowl.
  • Prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, Knorr Liquid Seasoning, lime juice, and onion powder in a small bowl. Stir until well blended. Set aside.
  • Put the onion and chili peppers on the bowl with the sliced pork belly. Toss.
  • Add the dressing. Continue to toss until well blended. Add Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve!
  • Share and enjoy!
