How to make lard at home ⬇️
Steps:
Cut pork fat into small pieces.
Add in a heavy bottom pan.
Optional: Add a splash of cooking rice wine ( I use michiu). It’s also common to add water instead.
Cook on medium low heat first 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat to low. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Lard will release and turn slightly golden. Pork fat will become golden brown.
Strain lard into a heat safe bowl and let cool. Pour into a glass jar. Close the lid and store in room temp for up to 6 months or in fridge for up to a year.
Notes:
In this video, I used 12 oz. of pork fat which yielded about 5.5 oz. of lard.
Optional: If your pork fat smells extra gamy, prep it by first blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and discard murky water.
