Bagoong Fried Rice
- 8 cups cold leftover rice

Instructions
Lechon Kawali
- Rub sea salt generously on pork belly then cover it tightly with a cling wrap and store in the refrigerator for at least a day.
- Rinse pork in running water making sure all salt has been cleared from the meat.
- Place pork in a pressure cooker together with the soy sauce, garlic, peppercorns, laurel leaves and lemonade soda. Now pour enough water just to cover the entire meat.
- Pressure cook for 20 to 30 minutes (Depending on the thickness of pork belly), your timing should start when the whistle starts to make sound.
- Once the pork is tender remove it from the pressure cooker and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Now once the surface of the pork is dried place it in a covered container and refrigerate it for at least 12 hours or until it is cold.
- Prepare a wok filled with oil and heat it up, once hot place the pork carefully while cold into the hot oil, skin side down, be really careful as it will splatter.
- Deep fry the pork until golden brown, this won’t take really long and remember you just want to make the outside crisp; the inner part is already cooked.
- Once cooked, chop into cubes. Set aside
Dried Pinakbet
- In a pan sauté garlic, onion and tomatoes in oil.
- Add squash, okra, string beans, shrimp stock, sugar and bagoong monamon then continue to cook for 15 minutes covered in low heat
- Season with pepper add fish sauce/salt if needed.
Bagoong Fried Rice
- Heat up a wok with 2 tbsp oil.
- Add garlic and fry until golden brown in colour.

- Place Rice in a serving platter, top with lechon kawali then serve.
