EASY Homemade Chicharrones | Crispy Pork Belly | Simply Mamá Cooks



Today I am making a quick and easy version of crispy chicharrones. These are golden brown crispy fried pieces of pork belly. Growing up my family would boil and fry these using a large disc outside. Making them at home and starting the process using the Instant Pot makes it a lot more convenient.

Welcome to Simply Mamá Cooks YouTube Channel! I am a Mom to a blended Korean / Mexican American family that loves to share what I cook in my home. I am still learning and enjoying the process of making home-cooked food.

  1. Looks yummy. I'm also going to give it a try. If I had to give any comment I would say when you are cutting the pork belly to 1" thick slices, for the love of your fingers please cut with your off hand on the section you are cutting off of. Not the section you are cutting off.

  2. Thank you for this video, I love the taste of chicharron😍… I use to make the haitian way we usually do they same but we boil it with parley, and a little lime juice, or sour orange juice with water and salt 🧂 that’s all and I think both of them taste wonderful 🤩

  3. Ok so maybe someone here can answer this question. I just recently got addicted to these things. I get them from a local Mexican store. Absolutely amazing. My question is what to do with the ones that aren't eaten? Like how long will they stay out at room temp? Most of the ones I get have a good bit of meat and fat on them. My favorite part and I asked in a forum and some people say they can stay out at room temp for a couple days and others say to keep them In the fridge. The ones who say to keep them out say that putting them in the fridge will ruin them and only thing they will be good for after that is a salsa Verde. It's just strange to me because I wouldn't leave a pork chop out over night but these are ok to do so? Lol. Anyway any suggestions would be awesome

  4. I would use the pork broth for rice dressing or what we, in the deep south, call Dirty Rice. Popeye's chicken has this, tho I'm not sure what they call it. I usually use chicken, pork, crumbled, browned ground beef, and cooked, finely chopped, chicken livers.

  5. OMG!!! This takes me back to my grandma’s kitchen. She made chicharonnes after they slaughtered a pig. She won’t make homemade flour tortillas and wrap it around the chicharrone. Nothing like it 🥰

  6. That looks good! You just kicked me um…to the delish zone! Always ready to taste new dishes! Yummy, yum! Waving to you from south Georgia-land of best Peaches, boiled Peanuts, & Vidalia onions! 🥘🍲🦞🥧🌭🌮🍕🍟🫔🍿🥗🦐🍝🍠☕🫖🗽🚑🚒🚓

  7. Can you please share what you use the pork broth for? I never know what to make with pork broth and I hate throwing all that flavorful broth down the drain. Thank you. I'm making chicharrones today! 😋

  8. Looks delicious but so fattening, I can't bring myself to feed this to my husband just because of the lard but it doesn't mean I can't daydream about enjoying these chicharones with a corn tortilla and some very very spicy hot salsa!

  9. They look so good and delicious. I haven’t been able to find whole slabs of pork belly in my area; it’s hard to find small pieces, too. If I manage to hunt down that unicorn, I want to try your recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!
