What is Pork Sisig?
This recipe is truly two for one with homemade pork sisig served over kimchi fried rice. Starting with the first, pork sisig is common in Filipino cuisine as pork belly cooked in a variety of ingredients including onions, garlic and chili peppers. It has a combination of savory flavor from the meat as well as a crispy texture.
Traditionally, it can be eaten as a side dish or served over a steaming bed of rice as a main dish. This recipe can be served on its own over our Texmati® White Rice, or over homemade kimchi fried rice.
Kimchi Fried Rice
Considered Korean comfort food, this fried rice recipe is an incredible combination of umami flavor. Starting with a lovely base of butter rather than oil, the kimchi and dandelion leaves are sautéed creating a sauce that the rice will cook in.
For best results, it is essential to start with cooked and cooled rice — or leftover rice — as it will contain less moisture and leave you with fried rice rather than a mushy texture.
Combine these two together for incredible flavor any day of the week!
