In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, salt, minced garlic, paprika, garlic powder, white sugar, MSG, ground black pepper, annatto powder, and soy sauce.

Using your hands, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until they are well combined and the mixture has a uniform reddish-orange color.

Take portions of the longanisa mixture and shape them into small, flattened, oval or disc-like patties, about 1/2-inch thick.

Place the shaped longanisa patties into a large pan in a single layer.

Add enough water to the pan to just cover the bottom of the patties. The water should come up about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

Cook the patties over medium heat, allowing the water to boil and reduce. As the water evaporates, the fat from the pork will render.

Once the water has evaporated, continue cooking the patties, flipping them occasionally, until they are lightly browned and cooked through. This should take an additional 5-7 minutes.

Serve the cooked skinless longanisa hot with a fried egg and steamed rice for a complete meal.
