The Nasty Bits: Pork Skin Soup Recipe
Ingredients
1 sheet dried pig skin, about 5 by 5 inches
6 cups best-quality pork or vegetable broth
A few leaves Napa cabbage, bok choy, or leafy green vegetable of your choice
Thinly sliced green onions, to garnish
Directions
Soak the sheet of dried pig skin in water to cover, for at least 8 hours and up to a few days in the refrigerator. When you are ready to make the soup, cut the skin into 1-inch chunks and set aside.
Wash and cut your napa cabbage, or another vegetable of your choice. Set aside.
Bring the broth to a boil and add the chopped pork skin and vegetables. Simmer for 20 minutes, until both the cabbage and the skin have fully softened. If you are using a vegetable that takes less time to cook, such as bok choy, add the cut-up vegetables towards the last few minutes of cooking.
