4. Remove from pan and completely drain on paper towels before serving.

NOTES:
1.You may also use pork belly however, you my need to boil the meat prior to frying.

2. Sprinkling some flour before frying will prevent the oil to spatter but maintains the meat's crispiness.

3. If you want a less greasy meat, you can simply season the pork slices with salt and pepper and use a turbo broiler. It'll remove the fats and you don't have to worry about the spattering as well.

4. A crushed garlic-vinegar dip or plain tomatoes will be a delicious complement for this recipe. Enjoy your meal!
