How to Cook Grilled Pig Skin with Chili Salt

Prepare the Pig Skin
First, wash the pig skin with water and soak it in diluted salt for about 15 minutes to remove dirt and clean the skin. After soaking, rinse the skin 2 – 3 more times with water, then cut it into large rectangular pieces, making diagonal cuts on the inside of the skin to release some fat.
Next, place a pot on the stove, add 700 ml of water and 1 sliced ginger root, and cook until the water is gently boiling, then add the pig skin and boil briefly for about 3 – 5 minutes, then remove and soak in cold water to make the skin crispy.
Tip: Do not boil the pig skin for too long, as it will become soft and not as tasty as crispy skin.

Grilled Pork Skin
To reduce the fat in the pork skin when grilling and to avoid it being too greasy while allowing it to absorb the seasoning better, use a knife to cut diagonal lines in an X shape on the inner surface of the skin.
The next step is to prepare the grill, set the temperature for the grill to heat for about 5 minutes, then add a little cooking oil evenly on the grill surface (if you are concerned about consuming too much oil, you can skip this step, as the skin will also render out a sufficient amount of fat).
Then place the pork skin on the grill and roast until the skin becomes slightly firm. Use a brush to spread a mixture of chili salt sauce evenly over the surface of the skin, then turn it over and do the same for the other side.
Finally, when the pork skin is cooked, sprinkle a little chili powder on top to enhance the visual appeal as well as the taste of the grilled pork skin with chili salt.

How to choose delicious pig skin
- Delicious pig skin pieces are those with bright colors, light pink, and do not have any bruises, purple spots, or black dots on the surface.
- You should choose pieces of skin that are thick, smooth, and large. When you press the skin with your hand, it should feel elastic and not mushy.
- Note that you should not choose pieces of skin that are too white, not rosy, and have a foul smell as they may have been soaked in harmful chemicals.
How to clean pig skin
- To clean the hair on pig skin, you can dip the skin in boiling water for about 3 minutes. After the skin tightens, take it out and use tweezers to pluck any remaining hairs on the pig skin.
- You can also use a mixture of lemon and salt to wash the pig skin to help remove the smell and make the skin whiter and cleaner.
How to boil pig skin quickly to soften
- After cleaning, place the pig skin in a pot of boiling water and boil on high heat for 15 minutes. Next, remove the skin and place it in a basin of ice water to make it crispy and prevent it from darkening.
- It is especially important to note not to boil the pig skin too long as it will lose its crispness and become too soft, making it less enjoyable to eat.
