How to Make Crispy Vegetarian Pork Skin
-
Prepare and dry the rice paper
You stack 3 pieces of rice paper on top of each other and soak them in water.
Then you cut the rice paper into bite-sized pieces, and sun-dry them for about 2 hours until they are dry and firm.
Tip:
- If you want thicker pork skin, stack more layers of rice paper.
- Do not soak the rice paper too wet, just enough to stick together is fine.
- Drying the rice paper in the sun helps it puff up more when frying and makes it crispier and tastier.
-
Fry the vegan pork skin
Place a pan on the stove, add about 10 tablespoons of cooking oil, and heat the oil until it boils.
When the oil is hot, add the dried rice paper to fry, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
When the rice paper puffs up like pieces of pork skin, take it out and let it drain the oil.
Repeat the process until all the rice paper is used up, and you will have crispy vegan pork skin right away.
-
Make the spicy sauce and finish the dish
Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the pan, sauté the garlic until fragrant.
When the garlic is golden and fragrant, add 1 teaspoon of Korean chili sauce, 1 teaspoon of vegetarian fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir well to dissolve all the seasonings.
Add all the prepared vegetarian pork skin and stir over low heat to coat the sauce evenly around the pieces of pork skin, stirring until the pork skin is dry and firm.
