Main Ingredients

Onion Salad Ingredients

Method

Cooking the Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Cut the pork belly into 2-inch cubes and season with salt. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the seasoning.

  2. 2

    Fry the Pork

    In a deep frying pan, heat enough oil to submerge the pork. Once hot, carefully add the pork pieces and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 3

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium-sized pot, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.

Making the Onion Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Onions and Vegetables

    Thinly slice the red onion and jalapeño pepper. Chop the cilantro finely.

  2. 6

    Mix the Salad

    In a bowl, combine the sliced onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, vinegar, and salt. Toss well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
