How to Make the Ultimate Sizzling Pork Sisig With Leah Cohen | ChefSteps

  • Sizzling Sisig has been the best-selling dish at Chef Leah Cohen’s Pig and Khao ever since it opened in 2012. Salty, acidic, crispy, chewy, fatty, and meaty, sisig is best served alongside an ice-cold mug of beer.
    Sisig is a traditional Filipino dish that transforms a braised pig’s head into a plate of pork hash with all kinds of different textures, from gooey and rich (the jowls, the cheeks) and deliciously chewy (the ears) to crispy and satisfyingly crunchy, with little hits of char and smoke in the mix, all dressed in a bright, savory-sour dressing. Getting that mix of textures and flavors requires some work-you have to braise, grill, and sear the pork, and deep-fry the pig ear-but the effort is way worth the reward. Can’t get your hands on a pig’s head? Check out our recipe at ChefSteps.com for substitutes: www.chefsteps.com/activities/...

    This is better than 95% of the Filipino sisig recipes on youtube. Pretty authentic (except for the cilantro and kafir. No calamansi but I'm giving them a pass for that -- it's pretty hard to find outside SEA).

    my friend does a similar style in Philippines where he grills the head after the braise. It's the best when its crunchy and full of texture from the ears, fat and crispy skin! Thanks for featuring this relatively less known Filipino dish. We've seen enough adobo recipes, haha!

    Go Leah Cohen! Thanks for doing justice to pork sisig. This is, by far, the least westernized version I saw online. (Using the pig face and ears)
    A tiny bit doubtful on the use of none Filipino vinegar and calamansi, but all in all, this is freaking AMAZING! I can smell the sisig aroma coming off of my phone screen.

    Other ways to eat sisig than as rice topping :
    Bibimbap. So still a rice topping, but more stuff. Sisig, collard greens or stir fried swamp spinach with shrimp paste, scallion kimchi, cucumber kimchi, raw egg. No stone bowl? Use an 8in iron pan for each serving. Also, here's something some Korean students in Manila figured out at some point: season it with gochujang.
    On toast. Whatever leftover non-sliced bread is around by the time the drinking started and you need carbs with the sisig. Kind of like tartare but it's cooked pork.
    Carbonara. Just sub it for the guanciale. Optional: dry out some Edam in the fridge and grate that into a powder instead of Pecorino Romano. Also works without egg (alla Gricia).
    Tacos, but nix the egg. Optional: use a Filipino side salad (tomato, salted duck egg, red onion) instead of pico de gallo.
    Poutine. It's already cold AF in Canada, have some spicy, fatty, salty pig with the fries. As for the gravy: nix the plain salt and season it with soy sauce and Knorr/Maggi.

    Really good recipe. My dad makes sisig with a fusion of dinakdakan which uses pig's brain as the creamy component and we use a lot of ginger. I'm the one who always grill the jowls and it's refreshing to see it be grilled.

    Wanna up the flavor of your sisig and make it even much, much better than the one featured in the video?
    Chicken liver (which is how sisig is usually done, by the way). Adds extra creamy texture and that distinct irony taste.
    Lightly salt and grill with the pork. Nicely searing it in a skillet works, too.
    Cool down, chill to prep for later, chop up with pork and proceed with the recipe as shown here.
    Enjoy.

    Sidenote: Pig brain would add a crazy creamy texture to your sisig, an egg substitute doesn't really do it justice. But let's face it, most Filipinos haven't had sisig with pig brains yet.🤷🏽

    • @chuckonillo8961
      @chuckonillo8961 10 місяців тому

      That's just how some people are hardwired in using dining utensils where knives and forks are what they would be usually holding.
      It's unlike other cultures where rice is the staple food, an integral part of the meal itself, and not just a side. The spoon is what shovels rice along with protein, vegetables, and other saucy dishes to our mouths (hands are also accepted alternatives depending on the setting).
      It honestly feels quite sad and frustrating to watch food video content of Americans, Brits, or just anyone fumbling to PICK UP whatever Asian inspired (non noodle) recipes they have cooked using a fork.
      Just imagine if that is how they eat at Asian themed restaurants, trying to finish their meals, which would be like clearing snow on your driveway using a rake.
