Ingredients
- ½ lb ground pork
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Mince the garlic until the pieces are smaller than a grain of rice, about the size of pencil-tip dots.
- 2
In a small bowl, combine the ground pork, brown sugar, soy sauce, salt, minced garlic, and black pepper.
- 3
Mix the pork mixture with your hands or a spoon until the sugar and soy sauce are evenly distributed throughout, about 30 seconds.
- 4
Place a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom.
- 5
Once the oil shimmers and slides quickly when you tilt the pan, add the pork mixture in small rough chunks, breaking it apart slightly as it hits the pan.
- 6
Cook without stirring for 2 minutes until the bottom is golden and stuck to the pan, then stir and break the chunks into smaller pieces.
- 7
Continue cooking and stirring every 30 seconds until the pork is no longer pink and the surface looks caramelized and dark brown, about 5 minutes total.
- 8
Remove the skillet from heat and let it rest for 1 minute so the sausage firms up slightly.
- 9
Divide the longganisa onto two plates and serve immediately with steamed white rice and fried eggs on the side.
