I’ve tried this recipe before & loves it! Making it again today. 😃 Definitely easier & less time consuming than other recipes I’ve tried.

The pork belly is delicious but I have yet to find the sauce that I once had at a Filipino restaurant. I tried Mang Tomas All Purpose but the flavor wasn't as good as I remember. I add spices to it and dip it in ranch and drizzle with lime and that's the most preferred way I've enjoyed it. Ideas for sauce?

Amazing recipe, thanks for posting!

For amateurs like myself, below are the cooking specs I used.

• Boil pork belly (from costco) for about an hour
• 350 degree F setting on the fryer
• Fry each batch for 10 mins, I like it crispy
