Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients together. Add the meat. Knead in the marinade. Refrigerate in a non-reactive container or gallon-size plastic bag up to three days. If using food coloring instead of curing salt, overnight is long enough. Fry on medium heat in a non-stick frying pan or cast iron with a little oil added. Fry till the edges of fat crisp up. Serve with steamed or fried rice and lightly fried eggs. Garnish with sliced tomatoes, roasted green chiles or grilled zucchini.
