Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork shoulder
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Calamansi juice (or lemon juice)
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium White onion, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Green chili peppers, chopped
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Pork liver spread
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 pieces Eggs (optional, for topping)
• 0.5 cup Chicharrón (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks for easier cooking and shredding later.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, calamansi juice (or lemon juice), minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the pork shoulder chunks and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 3

For the oven method: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Transfer the marinated pork and its marinade into a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 70-80 minutes or until tender. Shred the meat using forks once cooked.

Step 4

For the pressure cooker method: Place the marinated pork and its marinade in the pressure cooker. Cook on high pressure for 40 minutes, followed by a natural release. Shred the meat using forks once cooked.

Step 5

In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the shredded pork and sear until crispy on some edges (around 5-7 minutes).

Step 6

Add the chopped onions, green chili peppers, mayonnaise, and pork liver spread to the crispy pork. Mix well and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined.

Step 7

Adjust seasoning with additional salt or calamansi juice if necessary.

Step 8

If desired, top the Sisig with fried eggs and crushed chicharrón before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot over steamed rice or as a flavorful meal on its own.
