Sisig is a sizzling Filipino dish made by finely chopping pork face and ears (maskara), onions, and chilies, then seasoning it with calamansi juice, vinegar, and sometimes mayonnaise or egg. Originating in Pampanga, it is traditionally grilled or boiled, then pan-fried on a hot plate until crispy and served sizzling. Once a bar chow favorite, Sisig has evolved into a main dish enjoyed with rice or beer, prized for its mix of textures and tangy, savory flavor. It was popularized in the 1970s by Lucia Cunanan ("Aling Lucing") and remains a symbol of Kapampangan culinary creativity.

Common variations include chicken sisig, bangus (milkfish) sisig, or tofu sisig for vegetarians.
