Ingredients

1 lb sliced pork belly (bacon thin)
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/3 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp flour
cooking oil for frying

Instructions

In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, garlic powder and ground pepper. Stir to combine.
Heat frying pan over medium heat and add 3 tablespoon cooking oil. (you won't need a lot of oil as more oil will come out from frying the pork belly)
Coat pork belly with flour-salt mixture. Shake off excess flour.
Fry pork liempo in batches. Turning once or until golden brown and crispy. Do not over crowd the pan or the fried liempo won't be as crispy.
Remove from pan and drain in a plate lined with paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve warm with spiced vinegar for dipping, garlic rice and egg. Enjoy!
