“How do you do crispy pork? Why is the film swelled around like this?” I asked out of curiosity.
“Crispy pork must be grilled. is the secret of the store How to make crispy pork without boiling Because boiling will remove the deliciousness of the pork with the water. Just a pinch of salt and grilled over 3 charcoal grills in succession. Roast it in the charcoal oven overnight. without dipping the skin or apply vinegar in any way When I wake up in the morning, I have to roast pork in 2 more charcoal stoves so that the pork can be heated. Now the film will begin to swell. Set a pan and pour oil into it. wait for the oil to heat So he lifted the hot grilled pork from the oven and fried it. When the heat from the grill meets the heat from the oil in the pan. The pork skin will swell up like this. But this method requires expertise in viewing. Observe whether the pork skin has been grilled or not. before frying it.” Khun Pui told me the source of making crispy pork to be delicious.
“By the way, when making crispy pork by yourself, the skin is crispy and hard. It doesn’t have that crispy texture.”
“Red pork uses pork shoulder. Marinated and then grilled in 1 charcoal oven while Chinese sausages are fried in oil for a moment. Make Chinese sausage soft and delicious As for the pouring sauce, it is simmered overnight, made 2 pots per day, and cooked using both Thai and Chinese herbs. Red pork gravy sauce is like sour soup, the more simmered, the more delicious. The fire must be set in the charcoal oven all day long. where customers can choose what kind of food they want to eat Whether it’s rice with red pork, crispy pork, Chinese sausage or you can order everything as you like.
