Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Working in batches, sear pork skin-side down 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy.

Flip pork, sear the other side 2 minutes. Transfer all pork to a plate.
Step 4
Pour off excess fat, leaving ~1 tbsp. Add garlic and cumin, cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
