  Prepare the pork fat

  First, with 1.5kg of pork fat you bought, take a little salt and rub it over the surface of the pork fat for 3 – 5 minutes, then rinse it with clean water a few times, drain it, and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

  Effective methods to eliminate the unpleasant smell of pork fat

  • Method 1: You can take ginger, pound it finely, roast it until cooked, then rub it over the entire surface of the pork fat, and then rinse it clean.
  • Method 2: Additionally, soaking the pork fat in alcohol for 15 minutes also effectively removes the smell.
  • Method 3: Another common method is to soak the pork fat in lemon juice or vinegar for a few minutes.
  • Method 4: The simplest way is to use salt to rub over the fat for about 5 minutes, and the fishy smell will disappear immediately.

  Fried Pork Cracklings

  Next, place a pan on the stove with 1.5kg of freshly prepared pork fat, proceed to fry over low heat, while using a ladle to stir evenly for 10 – 15 minutes until the cracklings are crispy, then turn off the heat, remove the pork fat onto a plate, and let it drain the oil.

  How to fry crispy cracklings without oil splatter

  • When frying, to avoid splattering oil that can cause burns, you should ensure the pork fat is very dry before starting to fry.
  • To prevent the cracklings from being crushed, after placing them in the pan, wait 2 – 3 minutes before stirring!
  • Additionally, to achieve crispy cracklings, when you see them starting to shrink, you should continue frying for another 3 – 5 minutes before removing them.

Finally, just peel the skin off.

  Tip: To avoid burning the peanuts, you should use chopsticks to stir continuously, and do not use too high a flame.
