Recipe Tips

  • If you want to make this dish healthier, you can use lean pork instead of pork shoulder.
  • You can also use an air fryer instead of frying the pork chunks in oil.
  • If you like your carne frita extra crispy, you can double fry it by frying it once, letting it cool, and then frying it again for a few minutes.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the pork, you can still make this dish by seasoning the pork chunks with adobo seasoning, garlic powder, and salt just before frying.
