Khaep mu
Khaep mu
Khaep mu refers to a popular dish in Thai cuisine that consists of crispy pork skin. It’s a delicious and crunchy snack. The pork skin is usually deep-fried until it becomes golden and crispy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork skin (with some fat attached)
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Start by cleaning the pork skin thoroughly. Remove any excess fat or hair from the skin.
- Cut the pork skin into small, bite-sized pieces or strips, whichever you prefer.
- In a bowl, combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, and salt. Mix well until the salt is dissolved.
- Place the pork skin pieces in a large bowl and pour the sauce mixture over them. Toss well to ensure the pork skin is evenly coated.
- Let the pork skin marinate in the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or you can refrigerate it overnight for more flavor.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a large pot over medium-high heat. Make sure there’s enough oil to fully submerge the pork skin pieces.
- Carefully add the marinated pork skin into the hot oil, in small batches. Fry until they turn golden and crispy, usually around 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even frying.
- Once crispy, remove the Khaep mu from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining pork skin pieces until they’re all cooked.
- Allow the Khaep mu to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed as a snack on their own or as a topping for salads, soups, or rice dishes.
