Method
Preparing Pork Rinds
- 1
Clean the Pork Skin
Begin by cleaning the pork skin thoroughly under cold running water. Remove any hair or excess fat, as this will help achieve a crispier result.
- 2
Cut the Pork Skin
Using a sharp knife, cut the pork skin into small squares or strips, about 2 inches in size. This will ensure they fry evenly.
- 3
Boil the Pork Skin
In a large pot, bring enough water to a boil to cover the pork skin. Add 2 tsp of salt to the water. Once boiling, add the pork skin and let it simmer for 2-3 hours until the skin is tender.
- 4
Dry the Pork Skin
After boiling, drain the pork skin and place it on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat them dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
Frying Pork Rinds
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.
- 6
Fry the Pork Skin
Carefully add the dried pork skin to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-5 minutes until they puff up and turn golden brown. Be cautious as they may splatter.
