1. Select the pork skin with good color, wash it with warm water and set aside. (Thick and white skin indicates good quality)

3.21212Wash the pork skin and put it into the pot, add cold water and start cooking. The purpose of boiling the pig skin at this time is to shape the pig skin, which will facilitate the following steps of scraping the pig skin and plucking the pig hair.

4.1 Take out the pork skin while it is still hot, spread it on the chopping board, and prepare to start removing the fat. Use a knife to scrape off the fat little by little along the edge of the skin. Scrape it clean, otherwise it will affect the taste.

5.2 Add ginger slices and cook for a while. Ginger slices are also added to remove the fishy smell.

6.1 Wash the plucked pig skin in warm water and start cutting the pig skin. Use a knife to cut it into strips and then into dices. The diced pig skin is easier to cook and the collagen will cook out faster.

7.2 After scraping off the fat, the most difficult task begins: plucking the hair from the pig skin. Use eyebrow plucking tongs to pluck the hairs off the pig skin one by one. This process requires carefulness, otherwise it will affect the taste of the dish.

8. Look, the cut pork skin.

9. Pour the cut pork skin into the pot, add cold water and start cooking. The ratio of water to pork skin is 6:1. I added 1.8 liters of water.

10. Cook the pig skin until the soup turns white, the skin is softened and becomes thick, add salt and turn off the heat. This time I used a rice cooker and cooked it for two hours.

11. First pour the top layer of soup into a bowl to cool, then simmer for another half an hour.

12. Pour the remaining soup with pork skin into a bowl and let it cool

13. Look, there are three bowls in total, two bowls of clear soup and one bowl with pork skin.

14. After cooling overnight, it becomes pork skin jelly the next day. Look, there are two types of jelly: crystal jelly and jelly with pork skin that I poured on the chopping board.

15. Cut the two kinds of jelly separately and arrange them on plates. This is the jelly with pork skin.

16. This is crystal jelly. Doesn’t it look crystal clear?

17. Next, garlic comes into play.

18. Use the tip of a knife to split the garlic in the middle without cutting it through.

19. Separate the cut garlic along the cross section, flatten it, and roll it up from the beginning, like this.

20. Put the rolled garlic on the cutting board and start to cut it into strips

21. Garnish the pork skin jelly with shredded garlic and start preparing the sauce.

22. Pour soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and MSG into a small bowl, melt them and pour them on the pork skin jelly, finally drizzle with sesame oil. This is the pork jelly.

23. This is the poured crystal jelly

24. Finally, here is a close-up. Look, it looks chewy and appetizing, doesn’t it?
