Marinate the meat with 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of minced chili, 2 tablespoons of fermented soybean paste, 3 tablespoons of soybean sauce, 2 tablespoons of chili paste, 1 tablespoon of shrimp paste, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of sweet powder, 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, 2 tablespoons of water, mix well to combine the seasonings.
Next, add the entire seasoning mixture into the pork, spreading it evenly around so the pork absorbs the flavor.

Grilling the pork
You prepare a few bamboo sticks to tie the pig up and grill it over the fire for about 20 – 30 minutes, until you see both sides of the pork turn brown.

Dipping the meat in a spicy and sour dipping sauce, along with a hint of herbs, Vietnamese coriander, and ginger makes it even more delicious, leaving you unable to forget after just one bite.
How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Pork
- Fresh pork will have a dry membrane on the outside, and the cut surface should not feel sticky when touched.
- The fresh meat should be pink, soft, while the fat should be opaque white.
- You should choose meat that feels elastic when pressed and has a distinctive aroma.
- Avoid purchasing meat that is dark red, turning black, or has an unusual smell, as it may be pork raised with growth-promoting substances.
How to Clean Pork Properly, No Odor
- To ensure that the pork is clean and odor-free, you should blanch the meat first in boiling water with 1-2 teaspoons of salt, then rinse with cold water before cooking.
- Additionally, blanching the pork in boiling water with a little white wine helps effectively eliminate any unpleasant odor.
- For whole pork, you can remove the odor by rubbing white wine and ginger on the meat.
