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.
