I was scanning through a Chinese cookbook on line and one of the
ingredients I never heard of was Sweet Lard.

What is it? Is it still sold today? What would be a tolerable
substitute for a vegetarian dish?

From what I gather, it is unsalted lard. It can probably be substituted
by some vegetable fat.

Most of the time 'sweet' means either fresh (as in not rancid) or
unsmoked. What is it meant to be used for? If it's just for frying, then
any solid veg fat will work. If it's meant to be wrapped around
something than they mean caul fat, which is a sheet. Can't think of a
veg substitute for that.

It was for frying and for the sauce, so unsalted solid fat should
work.

Thank you and Victor.

YVW. Lard is indeed common for frying in Chinese cooking.

My understanding is that "sweet lard" refers to the fat found around the adrenal glands, best for baking. susan, Rachel's mother

In article <8233edfd-33f8-4c4a...@googlegroups.com>,
rachel.he...@gmail.com says...
That's suet, a hard white fat.

Lard is pig fat, rendered by boiling it up in water then allowed to
cool. The clean white fat sets on top, to be taken off. Any bits of
gristle are left in the water below.

In UK suet and lard are both available in supermarkets. I make suet
pastry with suet, and pie pastry with lard and butter.

As a matter of fact, I can't sing - but I'm trying. Mostly it was a low effort pun. All I did was add a two letter word. :)
