Sizzling pork sisig is a very popular "pulutan" for beer. It is a bestseller among bars and restaurants because it is a perfect match for beer and any kind of drinks. This recipe originated from the province of Pampanga. In fact, the term sisig is a Kapampangan word which literally means "snacking on something sour".

The original version of sisig was prepared from parts of a pig's head (brain, snout, ears, face, etc.) chopped finely. As years went on, sisig was reinvented into a dish prepared using simple minced meat only and are mostly served on sizzling plates together with liver, chili and onion. Vinegar and calamansi are used for seasoning. If you want to heighten the flavor, you simply have to add raw egg on the dish. Aside from pork, sisig can also be prepared using chicken, tofu, bangus, tuna and chorizo.
