【Tianjin】Refreshing Pork Skin

Overview

Every time there is a family dinner, I will take out my masterpiece, the crispy pork skin, and it is always the first to be eaten. I still remember the first time I gave this to them, when everyone had finished eating, they still didn’t know what they were eating. Of course, I had to hide it and not tell them. Some people like fleshy skin and some people hate it. As modern life and information become more and more familiar to people, some foods that people originally disliked are now increasingly appreciated by people. For example, in the north, when I was a child, when I stewed chicken, chicken feet, chicken heads, chicken necks and even chicken wings were basically thrown away, leaving only chicken legs, chicken breasts, etc. Meaty parts, such as pig trotters and pig tails, are mostly not recognized in the north, so they are so cheap that they are thrown away. I remember when someone bought things like pig trotters and tails, the neighbors would look at them with strange eyes, as if they were asking why your family still eats these things. With the improvement of people's material living standards and the dissemination of various information, people are choosing food more and more scientifically, and regard cooking as no longer a simple meal, but as a process of enjoying food. The same goes for pork skin. People increasingly regard it as a beauty ingredient and no longer resist it. Today, my delicious pork skin is a way to eat that is loved by men, women, old and young, especially at family banquets. It is a popular dish as soon as it is served.
