Vietnamese Cured Pork (Ham & Pork Skin)
A quick‑and‑easy twist on traditional Vietnamese cured pork using leftover cooked ham and pork skin. The ham soaks in a tangy vinegar‑sugar brine, is combined with blanched pork skin, cooked briefly, pressed into a pan, and chilled into a firm slice. Served as bite‑size squares or rolled logs, it’s a flavorful appetizer that makes great snacks, rice‑noodle toppings, or salad add‑ins.
