• 0.25 cup Calamansi or lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the pork belly, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and 2 cloves of crushed garlic. Boil the pork belly for about 45 minutes or until tender.

Step 2

While the pork belly is boiling, rinse the pork liver under cold water. Slice the liver into thin strips and boil for about 5 minutes in a separate pot.

Remove both the pork belly and liver from their pots and let them cool. Once cooled, chop them into small dice.

Step 4

Finely chop the onion and remaining garlic, and slice the red chili peppers into thin rounds.

Step 5

In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they become translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped pork belly and liver, frying until they become golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 7

Add the chopped garlic and red chili peppers to the pan. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Mix in the low sodium soy sauce and cracked black pepper, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.

Step 9

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the calamansi or lime juice, unsalted butter, and mayonnaise.

Step 10

Serve hot on a sizzling plate, garnished with additional sliced chili peppers if desired.
