Savory Greens with Crispy Pork Cracklings

1. Prepare the Greens

Begin by preparing your greens. If you're using Chinese kale, wash them thoroughly. Next, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add your greens and blanch them until they turn a vibrant green color and are just tender. Once done, quickly transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and set them aside.

2. Render Pork Cracklings

While the greens are cooling, take a pan and place it over medium heat. Add the pork cracklings to the pan and render them until they become crispy and golden brown. This will take a few minutes, so keep an eye on them and stir occasionally to ensure they crisp up evenly.

3. Combine Greens and Cracklings

After your pork cracklings are perfectly crispy, drain your blanched greens and add them to the pan with the cracklings. Sauté the mixture together until the greens are fully tender and the crispy pork cracklings are well distributed throughout. This should only take a few minutes.

4. Season and Serve

Finally, taste your dish and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of savory greens and crunchy pork cracklings.
