Sizzling Sisig

[Terpe]

You can make quite a few versions of Sisig. My favs are pork and bangus. Although, for me there should be no bones in the bangus.

As far as I know the original Sisig is made from chopped parts of a pig’s head, like cheeks, snout, ears, brain and tongue. Sometimes liver and heart could also be included.

My own recipe is really a quite simple 'cheat', but also very tasty. Just a simple minced and finely chopped pork chop with chilli, onion, liver (optional) and seasoned with calamansi and vinegar.

It looks great if you can serve it on a cast iron sizzling dish.

Plenty of restaurants in the Philippines also top it off with a raw egg. That's nice too. I do that at home for fun, when it's still sizzling.


Ingredients:-

pork chops
Liver
spring onions (Finely chopped)
soy sauce (dash)
Vinegar
Calamansi juice
Chilli Pepper (siling labuyo)
Crushed and chopped garlic
Ginger
Black pepper (crushed)
Salt to taste (optional if using soy sauce)
Oil and butter for frying
Secret Ingredient (Magic Sarap just to taste) Optional

Cooking Method:-

In a wok, fry the pork chops on both sides, then finely chop or coarse mince them
Fry and then finely chop the liver

In the same wok mix together all the ingredients and quickly stir fry to your own liking so hot and sizzling

Serve on a cast iron sizzling dish (topped with raw egg.... if you're happy with the source of the egg)

Worcester Sauce is a good accompaninment if you're inclined

Enjoy with a glass of your fav beer!

I thought that Sisig was from the rib area of the pig. I love it, but always ask for the bones to be removed, then always get them to chop red chillis into it. It's not good for m heart, but tastes great.

Yes. We can get that here. Recommended by my wifes mom who cooks for a living. I don't know whats in it but it seems to work.

....I thought that Sisig was from the rib area of the pig....

The most common "traditional original" sisig is made from the parts of a pig's head (Ears, Cheeks, Snout, Skin etc).
Original recipes require a whole pigs head, complete with brain and eyes etc, be boiled in a large pan until soft, then all but the bones and skin used as the ingredients.
Hmmm. NOT for me.
I'll still with pork chops, or loin or leg etc etc hehe

Oh, I also would not buy any fresh minced pork in Phils.

Secret Ingredient (Magic Sarap just to taste) Optional

Magic Sarap is a granulated seasoning with the complete flavor of meat, garlic, onion, spices and taste enhancers. It is the only all-in-one all-purpose seasoning. I always use this seasoning, It's actually one of my secret ingredients, I never use MSG

What is MSG?

[juvyjones28]

What is MSG?

Sssshhh.. It's Monosodium glutamate, we call it Vetsin here, some people use it as seasoning, but many have said it will cause you cancer later.

Oh right. Yes. MSG goes into a lot of our pre-prepared foods in supermarkets here.

Great website, panlasagpinoy, my wife use it all the time now. but I just cant bring myself to eat some of the offal that both she and many Pinoys like. I think I would be tempted to go with the pork chops, rather than the pigs ears....

[lastlid]

Calamansi. A source of friction between me and the mrs. We just cant get them here. Surely lemon will do? Arent they just small lemons?

Ah. I see you have either calamansi or lemon, Moy.

What is MSG?

MSG, or Monosodium Glutamate is a salt of the amino acid - Glutamic Acid (glutamate). A salt is the chemical name for a molecule held together by opposite charges. Basically one (mono) sodium atom is "stuck" to the amino acid glutamate.

[lastlid]

Yep, I think I will get the mrs to make this, but with pork chops. I am sure she will enjoy a little bit of the Philippines too.

That's Sizzling sisig with lots of chili and green onion on top

[stevie c]

I just asked the wife the good news is she can make sisig

The Bad news is as lastlids wife said she said it don't taste the same with pork chops she also needs the pigs head

[lordna]

My wife made sisig the other day using pigs cheeks instead of head, ears etc and it tasted great!

[lastlid]

.

[Terpe]

Yeah. She said if it is made with pork chops then it isn't sisig......

Be fair everyone, I did say upfront "My own recipe is really a quite simple 'cheat', but also very tasty."

My wife also reckons it's not the same. But...............I have a good palate and using minced/chopped pork chops is very very tasty and a light years more healthy.

Just get used to it.... there's aint nothing we got in UK that's anywhere near as tasty as same thing in Pinas.

Except .....ssshh

Alternatively why not make a bangus sisig.

[Moy]

pork belly wil do as well and indeed very tasty my version lolz

I have to admit I do love a nice pork belly. Especially if the bones are still there sticking out.

[mikey73]
