【Tips for making pork skin jelly】

1. The pig skin should be cleaned, the grease and impurities should be scraped off, if there is oil, the pig skin jelly will be very turbid, because oil and water are incompatible. Pig skin is rich in collagen, which is soluble in water and solidifies into a crystal clear solid, which is the principle.

2. When washing the pork skin, add a spoonful of edible alkali to effectively remove the oil stain and eliminate the peculiar smell, so that the pork skin jelly will be clear and fragrant.

3. When blanching the pork skin, it should be boiled under cold water, and green onion and ginger and cooking wine should be added to effectively remove the fish. Whether it is blanching or boiling, these 3 things are indispensable, which can ensure that the pork skin jelly has no fishy smell.

4. When seasoning, do not add heavy seasonings, such as soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce and other seasonings, which will make the color of pork skin jelly dark and black, and affect the appearance of the finished product. The spices are wrapped in gauze or spice packets, which is more convenient when fishing.

5. The reason why the pigskin jelly is not formed is that the water is not right, and the water is 3 times that of the pigskin, which is the most suitable ratio, no need to freeze, as long as it is refrigerated overnight.
