This stuff is like CRACK. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Now only if there was a decent Filipino restaurant in Orange County... guess I'll have to make this myself.

I followed the recipe to the letter except that I dried the pork liempo in the fridge overnight and instead of deep frying, I cooked it on high in a turbo oven till skin turned crisp and meat golden. Wow, the oil that came out, was enough to fill a cup.
Yummy, yummu, yummy. What else can I say?
