1 big onion peeled and halved
1 carrot peeled

some cooking oil for frying
1 chopped onion
3 chopped green chilies
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of vinegar
kalamansi for decoration
some butter
salt, peppercorn

Procedure:
There are three phase involve in cooking a sisig. The first one is boiling. Boil your pig’s cheek, ears and nose in a large casserole with water, some salt, peppercorn, onion and carrots. Cook them until they are tender. You can use a pressure cooker to speed up this task. The second phase is to grill them. Over your charcoal fire, grill your cooked pork’s part. Brown them on both sides. After this you need to chop them very thinly. The last phase needs a frying pan, put some cooking oil, sauté your onion and chopped green chilies with your cooked chopped pork. Add the soysauce, tabasco and vinegar.

Sisig ba ito?hindi yata!
wala naman carrots and sisig…
I think you put the wrong picture. This is not sisig. This looks more like stir fried beef.
Hi joy, Im updating the site currently and part of it is reviewing the photos. Thanks for reminding I will definitely update the sisig photo
this is sisig. I ate the same one looking like this and its very delicious. I think you use the carrots only for the boiling part to enhance its flavor. I will definitely try this one. Thanks for the recipe
