Cooking Tips

• Make sure to slice the pork belly into thin chips to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
• You can adjust the spice mixture according to your taste preferences.
• If you don't have a deep fryer, a large skillet with enough oil for shallow frying will work as well.
• To make the chips extra crispy, you can double-fry them. After the initial frying, let them cool and fry them again for a few minutes.
• Store any leftover chips in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
