Ingredients
- 3 lbs pork fat diced
- water to cover
Instructions
- Add diced pork fat into a saucepan or pot.
- Cover the fat with enough water.
- Bring the pot to high heat, until it begins to bubble and boil.
- Let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and no more steam appears. This process will take a bit of time.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it continue to render, until it turns a light golden color. Be sure to keep stirring to avoid any fat from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Remove from heat.
- Pour the fat through a metal sieve or strainer into a clean heat-proof glass jar.
- Cover with a lid and let cool completely.
- Store the pork lard in the fridge for up to 6 months.
- With the remaining crispy pork bits, lightly season (with salt and pepper, or your choice of seasonings) and transfer into an airtight container. Enjoy as a snack or sprinkle on top of noodles, rice, or daikon cake.
