Method
Preparation
- 1
Clean the Pork Skin
Rinse the pork skin under cold water to remove any impurities. Pat it dry with paper towels.
- 2
Cut the Pork Skin
Using a sharp knife, cut the pork skin into strips or squares, about 2 inches in size. Make sure to avoid cutting into the meat layer beneath.
Seasoning

Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of pork skin into it; it should sizzle immediately.
- 5
Fry the Pork Skins
Carefully add the seasoned pork skin pieces to the hot oil in batches, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they puff up and turn golden brown.

Drain Excess Oil
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pork skins from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve Fresh
Allow the pork skins to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a crunchy snack or a side dish.
