- 1Start by cutting up the pig maskara to make cooking time quicker.
- 2Blow torch the pig maskara to remove any hairs.

- 4Braise the pork face separately with bay leaves, black peppercorns, two Spanish onions, and half a bulb of garlic, covered with water, on medium-low heat for approximately one and a half hours.
- 5Braise the pork belly separately with the same aromatics and water, on medium-low heat for about one hour.
- 6While pork is cooking, get all vegetables and aromatics ready for the sisig mixture.
- 7Measure three tablespoons of calamansi juice.
- 8Dice the garlic.
- 9Small dice the onion.
- 10Check on the pig maskara; once tender, remove it and set it aside to cool down in the refrigerator.
- 11Once the pork mask is cooled, cut it into similar thinness for even grilling and dicing.
- 12Grill the pig mask, skin side down first, until it achieves char and a smoky flavor, drying out the gelatinous texture.

- 16Pop the pork belly into a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for one hour and 20 minutes until dry.
- 17Once the pork belly is out of the oven and cooled off, cut off a small piece to make chicharron for topping.
- 18Pat the pork belly pieces dry before deep frying for about 10 minutes. Season with salt after frying.
- 19Cut the leftover pork belly into small pieces for chicharron.
- 20Deep fry the chicharron and season with salt.
- 21Chop the cooled pork belly (Morimoto style with two cleavers) until minced.
- 22Season the wok with salt, then dump it out.
- 23Heat oil and butter in the wok, then add half of the minced garlic and brown slightly.
- 24Add rice to the wok and season with mushroom seasoning.

Tips

- Dry out the pork face after grilling to avoid a gummy, wet sisig.
- Season pork belly with a good amount of salt before baking to dry out the skin and make it crispy.
- Pat down deep-fried pork very dry before dropping into oil to prevent explosions.
- Season anything that comes out of the fryer with salt.
- Seasoning the wok with salt cleans it and imparts flavor into the food.
- Use mushroom seasoning for an umami flavor in fried rice.
- The mayonnaise binds the sisig together.
