Directions
- Put the pork belly in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until it fork tender, 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Place the pork in a strainer and drain to remove all of the water, 30 minutes.
- Add the oil to a deep fryer or Dutch oven and heat to medium-high heat. Fry the pork until golden brown, 30 to 45 minutes. (The thicker the slab of belly, the longer it will take to fry.) Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Chop the pork belly into 1-centimeter-square pieces. Toss the pork belly, onions, tomatoes, fish sauce and Hawaiian salt in a medium mixing bowl. Garnish with green onions.

Delicious! Just like what I’ve enjoyed in Filipino restaurants. The pork belly I bought was already diced in about one inch cubes but it still worked out well. Really an easy yummy dish.
