How to Choose Good Pork Belly
- First, you should choose pieces that are pink in color; avoid pieces that are pale or discolored as they may have been stored for too long and could be spoiled with a strong odor.
- Fresh meat usually has elasticity, so gently press with your hand; if it bounces back, it’s good. If it feels mushy or slimy, you should not buy it.
- You should buy meat in the early morning to choose the freshest and best pieces for yourself.
Tips for Cleaning Meat, No Smell
- To completely eliminate the smell of meat, before preparing the dish, briefly dip the piece of meat in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then take it out and rinse it with cold water.
- Another handy tip is to add a little white wine to the water when blanching the meat. The alcohol is very effective at removing odors.
How to choose fresh shiitake mushrooms
- Good shiitake mushrooms will have a moderate size, not too big and not too small.
- Good mushrooms usually have tightly curled caps, with a natural brownish-yellow color that is not too dark.
- Mushrooms that have a foul smell due to being spoiled, bruised, or waterlogged are easy to identify and should be avoided.
Tips for cleaning fresh shiitake mushrooms
- Rinse the mushrooms in water to remove dirt, then soak them in water for 30 minutes to a few hours to allow them to soften; soaking for less than 30 minutes will not soften the mushrooms, resulting in poor taste when cooked.
- To shorten the soaking time, you can soak the mushrooms in warm water or hot water at 60 – 80 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
- While soaking, rotate the mushroom stems to keep them submerged and easily remove dirt from the shiitake mushrooms.
- Cut off the stems as they are very tough and not tasty.
