Why?        Because the thicker the skin is, the crispier it becomes after frying.                Normally, pork skin sold at markets or butcher shops has been removed        of fat layer under the skin. If some of the fat layer is still on, you        should slice it off the pork skin. You can do this before you wash the        pork skin or after you simmer it. Perhaps, the latter is easier.                Place the pork skin in a big bowl or basin and put in some salt and        vinegar.                Turn and squeeze the pork skin in your hand many times to make it        clean.                Wash the pork skin with water several times and let it drain from        water.                Boil an amount of water, which is enough for the pork skin you        prepared, in a pot or a saucepan with a lid.                Place the pork skin, shallots and vinegar into the boiling water and        close the lid. You can use ginger instead of shallots or both. This        will help remove the distinctive smell of the pork skin.                Simmer the pork skin for 10 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness        of the skin, or until a chopstick can easily go through the skin        without much pressure from your hand.                Take the pork skin off the boiling water to a big bowl of cool water        to cool it down and also help maintain good color of the skin.                Check and remove all the remaining hair or fat sticking to the skin        for the best result of fried pork skin.                Cut the pork skin into pieces of 3 to 4 cm2, or to the size that suits        your taste. Then let them drain further before you season them.                Place the pork skin pieces in a mixing bowl and season them with chili        powder, sugar and salt.                Let the seasoned pork skin pieces stand for 15 to 20 minutes for them        to absorb the seasoning. In fact, you can also season the pork skin        after frying. Either way is okay.                Place the pork skin pieces onto a tray - a metal tray is better - with        skin surface facing up. Don’t overlap the pieces.                Sun-dry the pork skin pieces for 2 days, or oven-dry them under low        heat for 3 to 5 hours to remove as much moisture and fat from them as        possible.                Heat a substantial amount of oil in a pot until really hot.                Put the dried pork skin pieces into the pot. They will settle at first        so you need to stir them so that they don’t stick to the bottom of the        pot and get burnt.                Make sure the pork skin pieces are deep in the oil until they entirely        puff up. The crispiness of this snack relies on this frying step.                When they fully puff up we have the pork rinds. Remove the pork rinds        from the oil and move to the final step.                Finely chop the garlic and thinly slice the fresh chili. Do this while        you are simmering the pork skin.                In a frying pan, heat a small amount of oil - or butter to have a        better flavor, then place the chile and garlic into the oil.                Fry chile and garlic until the garlic starts turning golden, then turn        down the heat. If you didn’t season the pork skin at step 3, you do it        now by putting all the seasoning substances into the frying pan. Then        put all the pork rinds into the pan.                Mix them constantly until chile and garlic scatter over pork rinds.                Turn off the heat and let the pork rinds cool completely.                Store the pork rinds in an airtight container to keep their crispiness        longer.                RECIPE FROM: https://havycakes.com                Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives               MMMMM              ...
