Chicharrones Crujientes (Dairy-Free)

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork Belly
• 2 tablespoons Salt
• 4 cups Water
• 4 cups Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a large pot, combine the pork belly cubes, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the pork is tender.
2. 2Remove the pork belly from the pot and pat dry with paper towels. Let it cool completely.
3. 3Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
4. 4Fry the pork belly in batches until golden brown and very crispy, about 8-10 minutes per batch. Be careful, as the oil will splatter.
5. 5Remove the chicharrones from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while still hot and crispy.
