You fans of pork butt and ribs, vinegar, and heat.

Go to big asian store on main in Fargo or online and buy this.

Drizzle it on pulled pork - or dip your dry ribs into it as you eat them.

Thank me later.

I made some whole muscle jerky that was lame four years back. I went searching the Asian store for things to soak it in to convert it into “pickled venison strips” or some such. Saw a asian gal put three of these in her basket, picked it up and read the label and thought wow - that sounds great.

Took it home and about fell on my knees it was so good. Proceeded to dip or drizzle just about everything with it - hard to find food it doesn’t ad a gorgeous zippy flavor to. Even cottage cheese is good with a drizzle.

They now have unheated and sweetened versions too.

After much trial and error, these are the ultimate pinkrat dispensers - no screw top, perfect drizzle/pour, etc.

The wife was going to the Eastern Hell, so sent her on a mission to find the Pinkrat. Tried it out on some steak nuggets I made (cheap cut of meat, marinated and breaded) and kind of liked it.
Coated some potatoes in it tonight and let them sit a bit before I seasoned them for roasting. No strong vinegar taste, but did give the potatoes a sneaky heat that I appreciated.

Any pork product is a natural mate. I think pork rinds are the most popular pairing globally. 😄

It’s generally used as a light bodied dipping sauce in a shallow bowl in places like the Philippines.

MAC’s pork rinds (Walmart) are the gold standard if you want to try dipping pork rinds - which I see almost universally dipped on youtube postings from asia.

Most other brands of pork rinds are fluffy garbage that don’t dip well.

Also - almost any meat sammich that gets “dry” gets the edge dipped in pinkrat on occasion. I do that pretty often rather than slather it w a ton of mayo.

I also drizzle it on certain boring hotdishes or into soups that need a little brightness/zip.

Take your show on the road….in my current travels it has come to my attention that there is a boudin/cracklin’ stand/shack every .12 miles all across Louisiana

100% true about Mac’s. Even if not dipping they’re the only ones to get. The rest are just mouth drying pig foam.

I lied by the way - no pork rind product is better than these. They're the platinum standard of pork rind products. But they're costly. My brother brings me ten at a time when he visits ND.

Mountain lions are smart - I see now why they eat the nose off their prey. 🥴
I’ll have to look for those. Down here pork rinds seem much more popular than back home and there’s a quarter of an aisle dedicated to them at Wally. There’s a brand called Mambi that are made in Miami I think. They’re a notch above Mac’s in my opinion.

Made in Hawaii - pretty small scale operation for now - so probably online orders only in your area.

Are the Mambi's cracklins or rinds or both? Don't look available on Walmart.,com.

MAC's golden cracklins are great - but brutal on the soft tissues of the mouth (the Captain Crunch of pork products)

They have cracklins and the regular pork rinds, I buy the cracklins. They seem to be a touch softer than Mac’s and a little saltier. I’ve noticed the same thing with Mac’s haha Cap’n Crunch is spot on.
