Much of New York City is akin to a ghost town now, but it wasn\u2019t so long ago that Manhattan\u2019s Chinatown alone maintained that dubious distinction. Back then, when I visited to scope things out,<\/a> I procured a pile of provisions from some of my favorite restaurants, markets and vendors to show my support. Great NY Noodletown, 28 Bowery, has some stellar roast pig and roast pork, so I stocked up and, of course, bought more than I could consume in one sitting.<\/p>\n

\nNow, roast pig\u2019s claim to fame is its eyeball-rattling crispy skin that (1) swathes its juicy meat and (2) puts a smile on everyone\u2019s face. The catch is, once it\u2019s been refrigerated, it loses all its crunchy charm. So I dealt with the leftovers by separating the skin from the meat and flash frying it (think Chinese chicharrones) to use as a garnish for a stir fry that I made from the meat and some vegetables I still had on hand. Here\u2019s how it looked. Totally worked.<\/p>\n
