PORK BELLY SISIG
This Filipino dish, usually made with pig face and ears, embodies the culture's no-waste philosophy. It's also a labor of love. After the pork is braised and grilled, it's chopped and sautéed until crisp. Chopped grilled chicken livers and aromatics are added and everything is tossed with a mixture of tart calamansi juice, liquid aminos and soy sauce (sisig is derived from an old Tagalog word meaning "to make it sour"). In this version, pork belly fills in for the pig face and ears. It still takes a bit of work to make but is well-worth the effort.

Steps:
- Add the pork belly, star anise, bay leaves, 2-inch pieces of scallion, garlic halves, ginger, lemongrass, peppercorns and 2 tablespoons salt to a large pot. Cover with about 3 quarts of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the pork is tender, about 1 hour. Let cool in the liquid to room temperature. This allows the pork to stay moist and absorb more flavor. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and pat dry.
- Set a grill for indirect cooking and heat to medium-high, about 400 degrees F. Place the pork skin-side down over the indirect heat portion of the grill. Close the lid and cook, until some of the fat is rendered and the skin is starting to crisp, about 20 minutes (see Cook's Note).
- Move the pork to the direct heat portion of the grill. Continue to cook until slightly charred and the skin is crisp, moving the pork when flare-ups occur, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Skewer the chicken livers if using. Lightly brush with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the pork from the grill and let cool. Place the livers on the direct heat portion of the grill and cook, turning every 2 to 3 minutes. Cook until firm and well done, about 12 minutes.
- Cut the pork into 1/4-inch cubes and set aside. Finely chop the chicken livers and set aside.
- Combine the calamansi juice, liquid aminos and soy sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
- Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and pork and cook, continuously stirring and scraping any bits that stick to the pan as the pork begins to crisp, about 10 minutes. Be careful of any fat that splatters from the pan. Discard all but about 3 tablespoons from the skillet. Add the chopped livers, onions and minced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are slightly crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the calamansi mixture and cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the Thai chiles and scallions. Serve over jasmine rice.

- Use a butane (or propane) torch to singe off the hairs from the pig ears and skin of the pork belly. Sprinkle the pig ears with salt and rub it in thoroughly. Rinse the pig ears and belly with water. Fill a large pot about three-quarters of the way with water and bring to the boil. Add the belly and ears, simmer for five minutes then drain. Rinse the meat with running water, and wash out the pot. Fill it again about three-quarters of the way with water, add about 10g (2tsp) of salt and bring to the boil. Add the belly and ears and bring to the boil - if needed, add more boiling water, to cover the meat. Lower the flame and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the skin on the pork belly is tender enough to be easily pierced with a paring knife. Remove the belly from the water and continue to cook the ears for another 30 minutes, or until the thickest part can be pierced easily with a paring knife. Take the ears from the water. As soon as pork belly and ears are cool enough to handle, c
- Roughly chop the onion, and finely chop the garlic and chicken livers. Mince the bird's-eye chilli and slice the banana chilli into thin pieces.
- Heat a wok or large pan (preferably well-seasoned cast-iron or carbon steel) over a medium-high flame. When the wok/pan is hot, pour in about 20ml (4tsp) of oil, then add the chopped belly and ears. Cook for about 30-45 minutes, stirring frequently, until some of the fat renders out and the meat starts to brown. Remove the solids from the pan, leaving behind as much fat as possible. If there's more than about 30ml (2tbsp) of fat, pour off some of it; if there's less than 30ml of fat, add cooking oil to the pan.
- Heat the pan over a medium flame then add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft. Add the pork back to the pan, season it lightly with salt and stir it until it starts to sizzle. Mix in the chicken liver, both types of chillies, the fish sauce, calamansi juice, vinegar and some black pepper. Stir constantly until the chicken liver is cooked. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary.
