Lechon Kawali | Crispy Pork Belly

This is a recipe for lechon kawali or crispy deep fried pork belly.

Lechon Kawali Recipe

whole pepper corn

cooking Oil

Water

Pour water on cooking pot. Boil

Add the pork belly and 1 tablespoon of salt. Put some pepper pepper and bay leaves. Boil for 30 minutes or until meat gets tender

Remove the meat from the pot and let it cool down for a few minutes

Spread 1 tablespoon of salt on the pork belly. Make sure to distribute it evenly on all sections

Start to deep fry the boiled meat. Heat oil on a cooking pot.

Put each piece of boiled pork belly into the hot oil with extra caution. Fry until crispy. Turn the meat over to completely fry the opposite side until crispy. Note: be extra careful when frying as oil can splatter. You can use the cover of the pot to cover it while oil splatters, but do not cover completely as steam will be trapped. It will cause more splatters.

Remove the meat from the cooking pot. Arrange on a wire rack to cool down.&nbsp; Slice according to desired portions

Serve with lechon sauce. Share and Enjoy!

Thinly sliced pork belly that were air fried until crispy.

Crispy Pork Belly Chips

½ lbs. pork belly

Knorr Liquid Seasoning

whole peppercorn

Combine pork belly, water, whole peppercorn, and dried bay leaves in a cooking pot. Cover the pot and let it boil. Adjust heat between low and medium. Continue boiling for 60 minutes.

Remove pork from the pot. Let it cool down. Slice into thin pieces. Note: I usually freeze the pork for 1 ½ hours before slicing it. This method will harden the meat and fat by a bit. It helps prevent the meat from wobbling when sliced.

Combine sliced pork and Knorr Liquid Seasoning. Mix well.

Arrange pork on an air fryer. Set the air fryer to 350F and air fry for 20 minutes or until pork becomes crispy. Note: Make sure to flip the pork slices in the middle of the cooking process. This will ensure that both sides are cooked properly.

This juicy, crispy pork belly is made in the style of Filipino lechon kawali by simmering with aromatics before air frying to golden brown perfection
