A delicious and popular dish in the Philippines, Sisig is a dish made from pork, now chicken and fish, which is usually seasoned with calamansi, onions, and chili peppers. Served in a sizzling plate with sunny-side egg and mayonnaise on top.
Sisig has originated in the region of Pampanga in Luzon. According to Cunanan’s recipe, preparing sisig comes in three phases: boiling, broiling, and finally grilling. A pig’s head is first boiled to remove hairs and tenderize them. Portions of it are then chopped and grilled or broiled. Finally, coarsely chopped onions are added and served on a sizzling plate. –Wikipedia
