Ingredients
- 1 package Tocino
- ¾ cup water
- 3 tablespoons oil
Instructions
- Cook in a pan over medium heat.
- Add tocino and water. Simmer until water is reduced. Add oil.
- Once water has evaporated it will start frying.
- Depending on your stove you might need to adjust heat between medium-low.
- Turn occasionally. It will burn easily due to sugar content.
- From here on, remove it from heat depending on your cooking preference – rare, medium or well-done.
- I like well-done so I raise my setting from medium-low to medium to get crispy and charred edges. I fry it for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Serve with chopped tomatoes or atchara. Enjoy!
