    Frying

    Heat the frying pan slowly, add the pork, and fry it nicely golden brown on both sides, or until it is cooked through. Do not fry it too hard.

Frequently asked questions

How long must the pork sit before frying?
The slices are sprinkled with salt and stacked for 3–4 hours – both fresh and lightly salted pork are treated this way. That is why the total time is about 4 hours.
What do I do if the pork is very salty?
Soak the slices in cold water for 1 hour, pat them dry with a kitchen towel (a clean cloth), and then fry them.
Should the rind be removed?
No, the rind is not cut off, but scored in 3–4 places so it does not shrink during frying.
How is the pork fried, and what is served with it?
Heat the frying pan slowly and fry the slices nicely golden brown on both sides until cooked through – not too hard. Serve with brown beans, peas, and mashed potatoes.
