         Title: Pork Rinds w/Garlic & Chilies   
    Categories: Pork, Snacks, Chilies, Vegetables   
         Yield: 3 servings   
       
       300 g  Pork skin   
         1 ts Chilli spice mix   
       1/2    Fresh chile   
         6 cl Garlic   
         2 ts Sugar   
         2 ts Salt   
              Shallots and/or ginger   
         2 tb Vinegar   
              Oil   
       
     For this fried pork skin recipe, you should pick thick pork skin. 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.
