How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Pork Chops
- For pork chops, you should choose a piece with a thick loin, less fat, as it will be softer and tastier.
- Choose a piece of pork that has bright colors, firm meat fibers, and high elasticity.
- You should not choose a piece of pork if pressing your finger into it leaves a dent, has dark colors, is slimy, or has a foul smell.
How to Clean and Eliminate Odors from Pork
- Pork chops are best when cooked right after buying when the meat is still fresh.
- You use salt to rub all over the piece of pork while squeezing it vigorously to remove the slime, then rinse it several times with water to clean.
- Additionally, you can use white wine to rub over the meat multiple times to reduce the odor and make the meat softer.
- To eliminate the odor from the meat, you can blanch the pork in boiling water for about 3 minutes before cooking, then take the meat out and rinse it with cold water before continuing to cook.
