Crystal skin jelly

Overview

I remember when I was a kid, I could only eat pork skin jelly during the Chinese New Year. At that time, pork was supplied with the skin on, and the skin would be cut off to make skin jelly separately. Nowadays, pork with the skin is rarely sold, and the skin alone is more expensive than pork. You can rarely see pork skin in supermarkets, so buy some when you see it.

  4. Rinse the cooked meat skin under cold water to cool it down. Although it has been processed, you can still see the hair on the meat skin. Use tweezers to pull it down one by one, and use a knife to scrape both sides of the meat skin to remove the oil. This step is quite annoying, and your hands are covered with oil. It is difficult to take pictures;
