About Sisig

Sisig is a flavorful Filipino dish traditionally made from chopped pig’s face, ears, and liver, seasoned with calamansi, onions, and chili peppers. Originating in Pampanga, a culinary hub in the Philippines, Sisig has evolved into a symbol of Filipino street food and comfort cuisine. Often served sizzling on a hot plate, it can also incorporate other proteins like chicken or tofu for variation. While Sisig is rich in protein and bursting with bold flavors, its preparation often involves frying and mayonnaise, contributing to high fat and calorie content. Moderation is key when enjoying this indulgent dish. Tofu-based Sisig offers a healthier alternative, lowering fat while keeping the dish’s signature tang and spice intact. Pairing Sisig with vegetables or opting for leaner meat options can enhance its nutritional profile, making this iconic delicacy more balanced for modern palates.
