Clean the cut the pork fat into small pieces.

Blanch the fat in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Then transfer out and wash completely.

Add a small bowl of water into the wok and put the fat in. The water can prevent the fat from being burned. Simmer with medium heat and turn to small heat when the water is boiled away and then the fat begins to melt down. At the same time, keep stirring the fat so that the fat can be heated evenly. I will also recommend adding two stalks of scallion and several pieces of ginger.
