Water
Oil for Frying

DIRECTIONS
In a Pan, Combine Pork Liempo, Star Anise, Garlic, Salt, Pepper and Water. Boil until the meat is tender.Remove meat and store in a container. Deep-fry liempo in batches.HEAT oil in a frying pan. Make sure to cover the pan to avoid unexpected splattering of hot oil. Fry the boiled pork liempo until golden brown.Serve with hot rice and Love.
