How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- Prioritize choosing pieces of meat that are bright pink, not too red or too pale.
- Choose pork that is firm and has high elasticity. You can check by pressing your finger into the meat; if it bounces back immediately, has no stickiness, and does not leak water or juices, it is good quality meat.
- Avoid buying meat that has unusual colors, a greenish tint, dark-colored fat, is mushy, slimy, or has an unpleasant odor, as this indicates the meat has been stored for too long and is spoiled.
