What each ingredient does

Pickled pork
Main ingredient; its cured flavour and firm rind define the dish.

The step that matters

Boiling until the rind is tender. Pork rind is tough collagen-rich connective tissue. It softens only with sustained gentle simmering, so stopping early leaves it chewy and unpleasant.
