Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork belly
• 1 pound Pork shoulder
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 large Red onion
• 4 medium Garlic cloves
• 2 medium Green chilies
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 pieces Scallions
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (avocado or coconut oil)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the pork. Cut both the pork belly and pork shoulder into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the pork belly and pork shoulder pieces and boil them for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Once done, drain the pork and set aside.

Step 3

While the pork is boiling, finely chop the red onion, garlic, and green chilies. Set aside.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix.

Step 5

Once the pork is cooled, pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil.

Step 7

Add the boiled pork pieces to the pan and cook until they start to brown and crisp up, about 15 minutes.

Step 8

Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped red onion, garlic, and green chilies. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the onions become translucent.

Step 9

Pour in the coconut aminos mixture, stirring well to coat the pork evenly. Cook for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Make two small wells in the pan amidst the pork and crack an egg into each well. Let the eggs cook until the whites are set, yet the yolks remain runny.

Step 11

As the final touch, garnish the dish with finely chopped scallions.

Step 12

Serve the pork sisig immediately on a sizzling plate, if available, or directly from the skillet, ensuring each serving includes both pork and eggs.
