Prepare a ceramic jar or stainless steel vessel for storing pork.

For 1 kilo of pork, measure around 150-200 grams of salt.

Rub the salt all around the pork pieces, ensuring they are almost covered but not buried in salt.

Cover the pork with a cloth and tie it with a cord or thread, then keep it in a cool place.

Let the salted pork rest for about a week to 10 days, checking it daily to ensure it doesn't go bad.

After a week, wash the pork thoroughly to remove all salt, straining the water at least 4-5 times to ensure it's not salty.

Taste the water to confirm the salt level is acceptable.
