Today, I'm going to teach you how to cook crispy and yummy chicharonnes.
Chicharon is a dish made from pork rinds while chicharonnes is made from pork belly with it's meat and fats. It is a typical Filipino snack and one of my favorites to go along with mungbean soup.
First, of course you have to make sure you have meat. How can you make chicharon if you have nothing to cook, right? And it should be pork not beef, chicken, carabao, dog or cat, but pork. Pig. Just like how others looks right now because they have nothing to do but eat, play and sleep during quarantine. Try moving around and do some house chores so you won't look like Peppa Pig. Think of anything to do to make your day productive. Try learning how to cook, clean the house or learn a new skill. Or try this recipe.
Second, mix in the ingredients. You will need salt, garlic, black pepper and bay leaves (laurel). Now, if you don't have those ingredients in your kitchen, start looking for your face mask and face shield and buy those ingredients outside. But if you're too lazy to go out, just open a can of sardines and give up on making chicharon. The reason why you are always scolded by your mom is because you are too lazy!
Third, put the meat in a cooking pot and fill with water. Make sure to pour in just the right amount of water. Don't put in too much, six cups is enough. It's just like love, sometimes you love too much and you give too much so in the end your heart hurts so much. After pouring in the right amount of water, cover it and put the pot on the stove. If you don't have a stove, then go outside and get some firewood or charcoal. If you don't have it as well, don't cook. Just go to sleep and you will never get tired.
Fourth boil and wait for the meat to cook for 50-60 minutes until it gets tender. But if you're excited and can't wait for 60 minutes, just get the soup. That's enough for a ravenous human being like you!
Fifth after 60 minutes remove the meat from the pot or casserole, it's up to you what you use. We all have the freedom to choose what we want. Place the meat in any container and wait for 5 minutes while at room temperature. After 5 minutes poke holes on the skin using a fork or toothpick. Make sure to poke holes on the entire skin and don't make it too deep if you don't want to have regrets in the end.
Rub the meat with salt and make sure the entire meat is covered. Again, remember to use just the right amount, don't make it too bland nor too salty. That's the reason why they tend to look at other girls (or boys), because you're too bland and you're not enough for them, yet when you give too much, they'll say that they are suffocated and will ask for space! Tsk! I really don't understand these people who are not contented with their partners.
Refrigeratethe meat for about 1 hour and let it air dry. Oh! You don't know what air dry is? That's because you are too focused on your cellphone! You're too vain and all you know is to act cute on Facebook and Instagram, trying hard to imitate those TikTok moves and play Mobile Legends and PUBG games all day! And as a result, all you know is to fry a hot dog and cook pancit canton, so don't ever dare to cry in front of your mom once you get a UTI! My Gosh, you're stressing my bangs! (Oh I forgot, I don't have bangs 😅)
After an hour you can take the meat out of the refrigerator and wait another 5 minutes while the meat is at room temperature then deep-fry it. Do not fry immediately after taking it from the refrigerator. You must learn how to wait, the reason why you always end up with the wrong person is because you don't know how to wait!
Preheat the frying pan with oil before your mom's head heats up. Deep-fry the meat when hot. 'Srsssssrsssssssswwssrs. Srsssssswssssssss' That's the sound effect while frying. Isn't it better when there are sound effects? Hahahaha. Don't worry the skin's oil won't splatter because it was air dried. Fry for 10-12 minutes on medium heat. Do not make the fire too strong if you do not want your mom to fire up in anger because of your stupidity!
After 10-12 minutes, remove the meat from the frying pan and refrigerate again for about 10 minutes. Don't be excited, it's not over yet. I know you're excited, just like how excited I am to meet with my friends and go to the mall to have fun. But I still want to live, so I'll just stay at home.
After cooling it down, you will fry the meat again. This time, it should be on high heat to make it crispy. Cook for 2-3 minutes in high heat. There it is, I know you're salivating but stop it because you're not a dog.
Remove the meat from the pan. Tsadaaaan! Your crispy, yummy chicharon is finally cooked and can be eaten. Remember not to eat too much or else you may end up getting a high blood pressure. You wouldn't want to add a burden on the front liners if you end up being rushed to the hospital just because you ate too much chicharon!
