- Absolutely do not buy pieces of pork that have a foul smell, with surfaces showing bruises or small white spots like rice grains, as these are signs of diseased pork.
Effective ways to eliminate the odor of pork
- There are many ways to eliminate the odor of pork, the simplest is to soak the pork in diluted salt water. You add salt to the water and soak the piece of pork in the water for 25 – 30 minutes, then take the pork out and rinse it with clean water.
- In addition, you can also eliminate the fishy smell of pork using odor-neutralizing ingredients such as white alcohol / dried shallots / vinegar / ginger / lemongrass, etc. When boiling water to blanch the pork, add these ingredients to the pot of water and boil for 2 – 3 minutes along with the piece of pork. After that, take the piece of meat out and rinse it with clean water, and it’s done.
