Pig oil
By VicentaLakin
When I was a kid, my family at Zhongqing's had a habit of making pig oil, and my family was not included in it. Every time my grandfather bought a pig's side oil (i.e. oil), it took about a dozen pounds to wash, cut and make it back home for about half a day. The pigs were fed with food such as red burns, grains, vegetables and so on, and the pork tasted so good that the oil on the pig's tablet was so special that the family could smell it in several alleys. Once Grandpa's oil is ready, we'll go round and pick up the slag, and my sister and brother like to put sugar on the slag. I don't like sweets when I'm a kid, but I'm not like them. The rest of the slag is usually cooked with soup or fried vegetables, tastes special and is rarely available. Now, with a single drop of pig oil, you talk about the change in pig oil, and you think it's too hot to eat, but it's not. Pig oils contain a variety of fatty acids, with a certain level of nutrition, and animal oils have unique and irreplaceable fragrances compared to general vegetable oils. Chinese doctors believe that the oils have the effect of irritating, defusing, detoxifying and curing the human body, so as to cure ailments such as mosaics, defecation, cough and skin cracks, so that the oils are not terrible, as long as they are properly eaten, they need not be rejected at all。

Steps for Pig oil

1
First, the pigboards are colored, with thin film on their backs, and then they're thick and fat。
2
Then wash the surface of the lard with warm water。
3
Cut the lard in a piece or strip, before cutting it, it's better to sharpen the knife。
4
I used stainless steel pots, deep, and it was inappropriate to spill them out。
5
Add a bowl of fresh water to the pigboard oil, a spoon of white wine, and start with a constant fire, so that when the oil starts to come out of the pot, the fire slows down, and the heat is smoothed。
6
When the oil in the pot is yellow, the pig oil is golden and the fire is closed. The leaking slag was then used to pump out the rest of the oil, and then to pour out the pig oil。
7
It's good to have milk when the oil cools and condenses。Pig oil Make Tips
1. Adding water during rendering ensures the leaf lard heats evenly and prevents it from burning.
2. Adding white liquor removes the gamey smell from the leaf lard, making the rendered lard more fragrant.
3. If the oil splatters severely during the rendering process, you can add a little salt.
4. If you want to store the lard for a long time, you can add a small amount of soybeans to the freshly rendered lard.
