  Render pork fat

  Place a pan on the stove, add the cut pork fat and stir evenly over medium heat.

  When you see the pork fat has released its oil and turned golden and crispy, turn off the heat and drain the oil, leaving the crispy pork fat.

  Tip:

  • To avoid hot oil splattering and causing burns, make sure the pork fat is completely dry before rendering.
  • If you use an aluminum, stainless steel, or cast iron pan, the fat will stick to the bottom of the pan at first. To prevent the fat from breaking apart, stir it evenly after about 1 – 2 minutes.

  Fried Pork Cracklings

  After removing all the grease, only the pork cracklings remain in the pan. Continue to fry the pork cracklings with 2 teaspoons of minced garlic over medium heat for 2 minutes.

  Finally, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, stir well for 3 minutes, then adjust the seasoning to taste and turn off the heat.
