How to Cook Pork Bagnet

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Pork Bagnet is a type Filipino pork dish wherein pork belly (liempo) is boiled until it becomes very tender and then deep fried until the outside turns brown and crispy. This is almost the same as lechon kawali, except that traditional bagnet recipe do not use any seasoning at all. Instead, it utilizes pork fat in order to add flavor to the dish and this is done during the boiling process wherein pork fat or bacon grease is added in boiling water.

I recommend using a single slab of pork belly with a weight of around 2 to 3 lbs. Using a whole slab of pork guarantees the inner part to remain tender and juicy while the outside is being browned and made crispy when frying it. This advice might be familiar to you if you were able to read my recipe post on Super Crispy Lechon Kawali.

Authentic bagnet is fried for a short amount of time. It gets brown and crispy in around 5 minutes. However, it involves applying very high amount heat on the oil. I did not go on the same route because I am concerned about the quality of the final product. Since I am using canola oil, I played safe at 350F because its smoke point is at 400F. This means that canola oil can get burnt if I go beyond 400F, so I just opted for a lower temperature and increased the frying time. The result is just the same anyway – a very tender pork belly in the inside while the outside is brown and crispy.

    This is definitely happening at my house this coming weekend.

    I’m not familiar with spicy vinegar. Is there a recipe for it or is it something I should order pre-made online?

      You can get a ready-made bottle, just like fish sauce. If you wanted to make your own, you just put hot peppers in a bottle of vinegar and let it pickle for a few weeks. Your choice of peppers and vinegar.

      Hi Cory. Spicy vinegar is a mixture of vinegar and chillies. You can refer to this sinamak recipe https://panlasangpinoy.com/2010/06/24/how-to-make-spiced-vinegar-sinamak/
