Notes when making pig skin jelly
There will be a small amount of fat inside the pork skin. In terms of taste, it does not affect the dish, but to reduce the impact on health, you can remove it when processing. You can use a sharp knife to cut it off. If the knife is not sharp or you find it difficult to remove the fat, you can boil the whole piece of skin until it changes color, then take it out, let it cool a bit before cutting off the fat.
The collagen in the pork skin will release into the water when cooked and will solidify very firmly after the dish cools. If you like a firmer jelly, you can add more skin.
You can add a little vinegar to the dipping sauce to reduce the greasiness and stimulate the taste buds, making the dish more attractive.
