Ingredients
FOR MAKING PORK RINDS
- 35 oz or 2.2 lb pork skin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 cup water
THAI SPICE BLEND INGREDIENTS
- 3 tbsp fried shallots, sliced
- 3 cloves of fried garlic, minced
- 3 fried kaffir lime leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes, adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon rosdee seasoning powder
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
Instructions
SEASON THE PORK SKIN
- Cut the pork skin into bite-sized pieces. Place these pieces in a large bowl, seasoning them with salt and vinegar.
FRY THE PORK RINDS
- Pour water into a pan and place it over medium heat. Add the pork rinds.
- With time, the pork rinds will soak up the water.
- As they cook, the pork rinds will begin to release their natural fats.
- Use this natural fat to fry the pork rinds until they achieve a golden hue. Once done, allow the pork rinds to sit in the oil for an hour.
FRY ONE MORE TIME
- After an hour, reheat and fry the pork rinds again until they're golden and crisp.
- Use a colander to drain off any remaining fat.
MIX WITH SEASONINGS
- Quickly toss the fried pork rinds with the Thai spice blend while they're still hot. Serve immediately.
