Frozen skin is a delicious food that we often eat, and it is a traditional food of the Chinese nation. Skin jelly is generally made of pigskin, broth and star anise. , and then frozen in the refrigerator. This is a cold food with a high content of protein. The jelly we usually eat is crystal jelly. The method of freezing crystal skin is the simplest. The ingredients used are also very simple, such as pigskin, salt and water.

Cooking steps:

1. The pigskin we bought should be cleaned first, washed several times, and then we boiled it in clear water.

2. Put the pigskin in cold water, boil it for five minutes, then take it out and let it dry naturally. Don't put it in cold water.

After the pigskin was cooled, we scraped off a thick layer of grease with a knife. After scraping it all, wash it twice with warm water.

4. Cut pigskin into filaments.

5. Add a proper amount of water to the pot and heat it until it boils, and put the pigskin in it for one hour.

6. Add the right amount of salt and continue to cook for ten minutes.

7. Take a glass container and put the boiled pigskin and soup together in the container. Then cover it, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for freezing.

8. After the frozen skin is solidified, it can be taken out, cut into pieces and served on a plate. You can pour different juices according to your taste. The crystal jelly made in this way maintains its original flavor and is very Q-elastic. Those who like to eat with a heavier taste can be paired with other ingredients, which is very convenient.

Cooking tips:

When the pigskin is cut into strips and cooked in the pot for the second time, the ratio of pigskin to water is about 1:3, so the jelly finally cooked is just right.

The nutritional value of preserved jelly is very high. Skin jelly is rich in collagen, which has a very good effect on our skin. It can make our skin firmer and more elastic, and it can also whiten and moisturize. I remember when I was a child, it was very cold in winter. My mother's washing clothes in the yard can cause chapped hands, so she often moistens her hands with pigskin oil. It seems that eating jelly is very effective.

Precautions:

Although pigskin jelly is delicious, it should not be eaten more, because pigskin jelly contains a lot of fat, and eating too much can easily lead to obesity. Therefore, we should pay special attention when cooking. After cooking pigskin for the first time, we must scrape off a layer of fat on the surface. When scraping, you must scrape harder and more until you can see the lines inside the skin. This will prevent us from eating a lot of fat. So if you want to eat jelly, try to make it at home, because what you do outside may not be as careful and clean as what you do.
