These pork rind delicacies are not only delicious but also nutritious. The collagen rich in pig skin has great benefits for our skin, bones and joints. At the same time, the fat content in pig skin is relatively low, so there is no need to worry about consuming too much fat when eating it reasonably.
In addition to cooking tips, I would also like to share some practical life hacks with you. For example, when handling pig skin, we can use a knife to scrape off the surface of the hair and dirt, and then scrub it with salt, so that the skin will be cleaner. In addition, during the cooking process, we can add some spices and seasonings in moderation, such as star anise, cinnamon, ginger slices, etc., to increase the aroma and taste of the dish.
