Notes

TIP - I like to pan seared my pork skin before cooking. This gives the skin and extra nicer taste. the Q Q chewy taste.
TIP - I prefer to use chicken stock instead of water for my stewing but you can use water.
TIP - The amount of liquid you add in to the stew and the time depends on the cut size of your pork and also the heat.
