Ingredients

• 500 grams lean pork shoulder
• 1 medium onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 pieces green chili peppers
• 1 piece red chili pepper
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons calamansi juice or lime juice
• 3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece egg (optional)
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 2 pieces scallions

Directions

Step 1

Start by boiling the lean pork shoulder in a pot of water for about 20 minutes or until it is just tender. Drain and allow to cool.

Step 2

Once cooled, dice the pork into small bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion, garlic, green chili peppers, red chili pepper, and scallions. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onion until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the diced pork into the pan and cook until it turns slightly brown and crispy on the edges, about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the grated ginger, soy sauce, calamansi juice or lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let the mixture cook for about 5 minutes more.

Step 7

Add the chopped green chili peppers and red chili pepper to the pan. Stir everything together until the peppers are softened.

Step 8

Stir in the low-fat mayonnaise and mix until the pork sisig is evenly coated and creamy.

Step 9

For an optional touch, you can crack an egg over the top of the sisig and mix it in just before serving while the pan is hot, allowing the egg to cook with the residual heat.

Step 10

Transfer the pork sisig to a preheated sizzling plate or skillet. Sprinkle the chopped scallions on top.

Step 11

Serve the Low Fat Sizzling Pork Sisig immediately while it's still sizzling.
