Pan-Fried Pork Bites with Onions

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you pan-fry pork with onions? Gather all your ingredients. You can use any cut of pork: neck, shoulder, leg, or belly. I'm using pork leg.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the meat under running water and pat it dry with a paper towel to remove the excess moisture. Cut it into small, roughly equal pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Use a good flat-bottomed skillet. Heat it up well and add a little vegetable oil. Add the pork and sear it over high heat on all sides. Searing hard like this forms a crust all over and seals the juices inside the pieces.

4. Step 4:

   

   The meat will release liquid as it fries, but it'll evaporate right away. Lower the heat a bit and cook the pork for about 10 minutes, stirring now and then.

5. Step 5:

   

   While the meat fries, prep the onions. Peel them and rinse in cold water. Cut them into half-rings — don't chop them too fine, or they'll turn to mush as they fry.

6. Step 6:

   

   By now the pork is nicely seared and an appetizing golden color.

7. Step 7:

   

   Add the sliced onion to the pork and stir it all together.

8. Step 8:

   

   After a couple of minutes the onion will soften. Season the pork with a little salt and spices to taste. Keep frying everything together over low heat for another 10 to 15 minutes.

9. Step 9:

   

   The pan-fried pork with onions is ready! Serve it hot, with any side dish you like.
