Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place the washed pork skin, cut into large pieces, into boiling water for 5 minutes. Then remove and rinse.

Step 2

Scrape off excess fat from the skin with a knife and cut the skin into strips.

Step 3

Peel the carrot and cut it into small cubes, blanch the peas in boiling water.

Step 4

Bring 700 ml of water to a boil, add the pork skin and all the spices and seasonings. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the skin is very soft and the broth reduces.

Step 5

Add the carrot and peas, and cook the aspic until the carrot and peas are tender but not mushy (they should hold their shape).

Step 6

Remove the star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaf. Pour the aspic into a container where it will set. First, cool it to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator until fully set.
