Pork jelly making skills

1. The ratio of pork skin to water in pork skin jelly is about 1 to 3. The cooking time is 1 to 1.5 hours. You can adjust it according to your taste.

2. The ingredients for pork skin jelly are very simple. You only need a little bit of ginger to enhance the flavor. You can also add other spices or seasonings according to your taste and color requirements.

3. If you want the pig skin jelly to be more crystal clear, you can scrub it with baking soda to further remove the oil after scraping it off. Do not use dark spices and soy sauce to stew it, and do not use too high a heat during stewing, otherwise the jelly may "emulsify".

After the buns or dumplings are cooked, it will naturally turn into soup.
