Sisig
Chopped grilled pig face and ears sizzling on a hot plate with calamansi, chili, onions, and a raw egg stirred in — bold and crunchy.
Why It Works
The combination of boiling then grilling then chopping and sizzling creates multiple textures — crispy, chewy, tender — in one dish; the egg cooks on the sizzling plate and binds everything together.
