And as a pre-dinner snack to the burgers.

- Pork belly skinned. Left over from making the char sui for the ramen.

- Salted to draw out moisture and fridged to continue dehydrating.

- Deep fried to crispy perfection.


I've got 2 issues I'm not happy with, would like your help in solving.
  1. It came out harder than it wanted. It was crunchy, but if at all possibly, I'd like it more airy and crispy. I'm thinking this might be because I drew out too much moisture? Do I even need to dry it out at all?
  2. It kept curling. Any ideas on how I can make it curl up less? Sure small pieces work because it's then bite-sized, but I was hoping I could make it more visually impressive with a big piece. There's a Paula Deen vid where she's given some pork rinds as a gift, and it's like a huge piece, at least 8"x8". I just think it'd be cool to have a piece that big.
cheers guys.
