Crispy Pata (Deep-Fried Pork Leg) #FilipinoFoodsPhilippines

Ingredients :

1 pork pata (pork leg), wash well
1 cup soda pop (Sprite or 7-up)
water, for boiling
coarse sea salt
1 tsp. peppercorns
5 cloves garlic, crushed
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. baking soda
oil, for frying

Procedures :

1.) Clean pork pata. Slit skin (3-5 slits on each side) without cutting the bone.

2.) Place pork pata in a big pot. Add soda pop and water enough to cover the pork.

3.) Season with plenty of salt. Add peppercorns, crushed garlic, bay leaves and soy sauce.

4.) Covered and boil over high heat. Remove all the resulting scum that will rise to the top of the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for about an hour or until pork pata meat is tender (make sure that meat is not too tender).

5.) About 15 minutes of simmering, add baking soda (to soften the meat faster) and continue cooking.

^.) Drain pork pata when done. Let sit for a while so the juices settle. Dry with paper towels.

7.) Deep-fry pata until golden brown and blisters appear on skin. Drain on paper towels.

8.) Slice meat and transfer to a serving plate. Serve hot with sauce for dipping.

9.) Make sauce by combining soy sauce and white vinegar. You may add garlic, onion and chili pepper. Depends to your liking.

  21. One of my favorites! But just earlier today I was asked to slow down on these types of food. I was told I needed to eat some healthy food to maintain my ALL NORMAL physical exam result. :D But, in moderation, I might still try to do this and eat. haha

  23. A lot of people love crispy pata, but me, not really. I only eat this when this is the only thing on the table. I admit it tastes good, but it is also very high in cholesterol.

  25. Some even put the pata inside the freezer first before cooking it to make it crispier
