How to Prepare Fried Noodles with Pork Cracklings

Fry the Pork Cracklings
300g of pork fat should be washed with salted water, cut into dice, and then placed in a basket to drain.
Next, place a pan on the stove, add 200ml of cooking oil, wait for the oil to heat up, then pour in the pork fat to fry until golden. Stir well to ensure the cracklings are evenly cooked. Once the cracklings are fried golden, scoop them out into a sieve to drain the oil.
How to Fry Pork Cracklings Crispy Without Oil Splatter
- To achieve crispy cracklings without oil splatter, ensure the fat is completely drained before frying.
- Keep the heat at medium level so that the cracklings cook just right without spattering oil.
- Moreover, to avoid oil splatter, you can add a little lemon juice to the pan before starting to fry the cracklings.
How to Store Unused Pork Cracklings
- To store pork cracklings, after frying, let them cool slightly, place them in a glass jar lined with a layer of paper towel, cover with a lid, and store at room temperature.
- With this method, you can use the cracklings for 3 – 5 days while still maintaining their crispiness.
