Step 1

Boil pork rind for 3 minutes then drain. Cut it into narrow strips when cool enough to handle (see note 1).

Step 2

Pour water into a clean pot. Add pork rind strips and other ingredients from braising. Bring the water to a boil then leave to simmer (with the lid on) for 50-60 mins until the pork rind becomes very soft.

Step 3

Discard scallions, ginger and the spices. Pour everything else into a container. When completely cool, store in the fridge for 3-4 hours until a hard block of jelly forms.

Step 4

Cut the jelly block as you like (thin slices or cubes) then place on a serving plate. Mix all the ingredients for the dressing. Pour it over the jelly then serve with plain rice and other savoury dishes (see note 2).
