Crispy and Dry Pork Cracklings Recipe

Preparation method:

1. Cut the pork belly into small, even pieces.

2. Season the pieces with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, add a tablespoon of vinegar to help the skin get crispy.

3. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the seasoning to settle.

Frying:

4. Heat a large pan with enough oil to cover the cracklings.
5. Place the pieces of pork belly in the pan while the oil is still cold. This helps the fat slowly melt and makes the cracklings crispier.
6. Cook over medium heat until it starts to boil, then increase to high heat until the pieces are golden and crispy, stirring occasionally for even frying.
7. Remove the cracklings with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
