1 Basic Crispy Pata Recipe with Dipping Sauce
This basic crispy pata is a great beginner recipe for those who have never tried to make the dish on their own before. This is a simple brine that you will cook the whole pork pata in. The recipe uses a pressure cooker since it can cut the cooking time in half but if you do not have that appliance, you can easily do this in a large pot. You'll just have to simmer it for a longer time to make the pata tender.
If you have a slow cooker, the pata can be tenderized in that, too. If you have an instant pot or one of those multicookers that can air fry, pressure cook, and even slow cook at the push of a button, this appliance acts just like a normal pressure cooker but is electronic. There's no worry about needing to check on the pot until it signals to you that it's done.
Best of all, you don't have to wonder how to make that awesome dipping sauce that normally comes with your crispy pata because this comes with a recipe for that, too.

2 Crispy Pata Recipe With Soda
If you love the taste of clear lemon-lime sodas, you'll love this recipe! The lemon-lime soda is a delicious ingredient, not just for the marinade of your Pinoy pork barbecue, but for any pork recipe that requires the meat to get fork-tender.
The soda will not only help tenderize the pork as it simmers but will also impart some of its flavors to the crispy pata, too. Don't worry about it tasting sweet! Any sweetness from the soda is counterbalanced by the salt, garlic powder, and other seasonings that were added to the water.
If you love the tangy vinegar dipping sauce instead of a soy sauce-based dipping sauce, this too has a great recipe for that!
