Pork knuckles or pata is a tough cut of meat. In order to come up with a crispy pata, you need to tenderize this first in water with Knorr Pork Cube, pepper, onions, garlic and star anise. Bring these to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat to a simmer until the pork is tender. Drain the pata well and season with Knorr Liquid Seasoning.
Let’s now move on to making the stuffing for the pata. Combine cooked rice, bagoong and toasted garlic and fill the pata with this mixture. Secure the sides with some twine(thick form of sinulid) to properly seal the filling inside.
Now, get a pan that’s big enough to fit the pata and fill it with cooking oil. Get it nice and hot and deep-fry the stuffed pork until brown and crispy. Next, you have to remove it from the oil and place it on top of a tray lined with paper towels.
