Sisig will always be one of the dishes that Kapampangans are proud of and thanks to the “Sisig Queen”, Aling Lucing or Lucia Cunanan and her Sizzling plate, the dish was reinvented and made more appetizing due to its crispiness. The word Sisig dates back to 1732 when it was included by an Augustinian friar, Diego Bergaño in his Kapampangan-Spanish Vocabulary. He wrote it as a Salad of Green Papaya or Green Guava that has a salt, pepper, vinegar and garlic dressing. The use of meat in Sisig has no clear history. Whatever the origins of Sisig is, one thing is important; everybody loves it. Today, many versions of Sisig are available but Sizzling Pork Sisig Recipe is still the most popular.
