Are you fond of crispy pork? Or pork rind cracklings? That oh so crunchy piece of pork skin that is dipped in vinegar that makes a crackling sound in every bite?

Well, we can make a healthier version of that! No pork! Same crispness, same crackle sound, same yumminess BUT less the cholesterol!

Soak the cap in cold water for 5 minutes.

The stalk must be soaked in cold water longer, around 15 minutes. The reason is to soften it.

After it is soaked, squeeze the mushrooms to remove the water.

This is eye-opening for me, lol.

I didn't even know what a 'spawn' was until I read this (had to google it), so I learned something from the very first sentence.

I may have eaten pork-rinds once in my life, but can barely remember it. And I definitely haven't eaten mushroom-substituted pork-rinds.

All that said, I'd be open to it. They actually look quite delicious and your 'in-progress' pics somehow increased their appetizing...uh...ness. lol.

Anyway, really enjoyable post, ty. 🙏

Hi @ryzeonline ! Haha thanks! Our Chicharon is equivalent to chips. We are really fond of it like most of you who are fond of chips. However, pork rind Chicharon, though tempting is unhealthy. With mushroom as substitute, will make it "less" unhealthy. Just make sure oil is drained and absorbed by paper towel. 😉

That makes total sense, mushrooms seem like a great healthy substitute, and absorbing the oil is very smart! I look forward to trying them some day! 😁

You really should try it! 😁

It's on my bucket list! :)

So delicious. Thanks for sharing.
