Zanthoxylum seeds and coarse chili powder
Instructions
- Fill a cooking pot with water and place the pork inside. Turn on the stove; add salt and paprika for color.
- Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and simmer gently until the pork becomes tender. If needed, add small amounts of water as required.
- Once the pork is tender, remove the cover.
- Cook the pork over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all the water evaporates and the pork starts frying in its own oil.
- Continue frying the pork, flipping it over, until it turns a golden brown color.
- Remove the pork from the pot, separating any excess lard, and transfer it to a bowl.
- [Special Tip]ย Now, for the final step that sets this dish apart. In a separate pan, heat a few tablespoons of the pork lard until hot. Turn off the heat and while the oil is still hot, add three tablespoons of coarse ground local chili powder and 1 tablespoon of zanthoxylum powder.
- Mix the spices well and pour them over the pork.
- (optional) Garnish with freshly chopped green chili, red chili, or ginger leaves. Your deliciously spicy fried Naga pork is now ready to be served!
