Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. ruffle fat
  • 1 tablespoon whole peppercorn
  • 5 dried bay leaves
  • 2 ½ tablespoons sea salt
  • 4 cups canola oil
  • 6 cups water

Instructions

  • Arrange the ruffle fat, whole peppercorn, 2 tablespoons salt, and bay leaves in a cooking pot. Pour-in water. Let boil. Cover and then simmer for 1 hour.
  • Turn the heat off. Remove the boiled ruffle fat from the pot and then let the water drip-off.
  • Rub the remaining salt all over the ruffled fat. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or a deep cooking pot.
  • When the oil gets hot, slowly add-in the ruffled fat. Deep fry in low to medium heat until the texture becomes crisp and the color turns medium brown.
  • Remove from the deep fryer or cooking pot. Arrange in a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the oil.
  • Serve with spiced vinegar.
