What drives the calories

  • Pork face and ears are fatty cuts, and most of the fat stays in the dish.
  • Many versions mix in mayonnaise, butter or crushed chicharon.
  • The egg and the oil on the sizzling plate add more fat.

How to make it lighter

  • Ask for no mayonnaise.
  • Choose chicken or bangus (milkfish) sisig for less fat.
  • Share one plate as pulutan instead of eating it as a full meal with rice.
