So What's Lechon Kawali?

Lechon kawali or Pan-roasted pork is a variation of the traditional Lechon Dish. Crispy and tender , it's a dish that is well known in the Philippines. While the traditional lechon is cooked in charcoal, the Lechon kawali on the other hand is cooked by boiling , this process makes the meat tender , and then later on deep fried so that the skin of the pig get crispy and crunchy. The most common part of the pig that is usually used  is the pork belly because it has the perfect combination of the fat and the meat of this area. This dish is also great for pulutan (appetizer) accompanied by lechon sauce but i really recommend soy-sauce with chopped  onions as dipping. So please try my very own Lechon Kawali Cooking Recipe and cook your own very easily.
