Lechon Kawali is a beloved Filipino dish consisting of pork belly that is boiled, seasoned, and deep-fried to achieve an irresistibly crispy exterior and tender, juicy interior. This dish is typically served with a side of savory liver sauce (known as "lechon sauce") or vinegar for dipping, complementing its rich flavor. Hailing from the Philippines, it is a staple in Filipino cuisine, often enjoyed during celebrations or as comfort food. While Lechon Kawali is undeniably satisfying, it is a calorie-dense dish due to its high-fat content and the deep-frying process, which increases its levels of saturated fats. While rich in protein, it is best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Pairing it with a side of fresh vegetables or a lighter dish can help balance its indulgent nature and add fiber to the meal.
