How to Make Pork Sisig

The pork sisig arrived on a sizzling platter. Chunks of chopped fried pork mixed with green chilis and onions. We were told this version has no pig ears, but definitely has "pig parts." The waiter set the platter on our table then cracked a raw egg on top, mixing it in until it was set. Yum. We quickly passed the platter around and dug in. The crispy pork had a vinegar flavor, and each chunk had the right balance of meat and fat. The onions provided nice sweet flavor and the chilis enough spiciness without being too hot. The egg added depth to the many flavors of the dish. What a melange of sizzling goodness! By the time the next sisig arrived, the pork sisig was already gobbled up, long gone.
