Crispy Fried Pork (Tulapho) Recipe

Combine pork belly, water, onion, bay leaves, salt, and peppercorn in a pot. Bring to a boil. Remove impurities that rise to the surface.

Lower heat, cover, and simmer until pork is tender and water is fully evaporated, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Continue cooking pork until fat is rendered. Add garlic cloves. Fry pork in its own oil, stirring frequently, until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve with vinegar.
