How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- The meat piece should be dry, not slimy, with normal smell and color, solid texture, high elasticity, and when you press your finger into the meat, it creates a dent but does not leave a mark when you lift your finger.
- The muscle fibers are even. If the meat uses a lot of growth stimulants, it often retains a lot of water and has poor firmness.
- Additionally, you should also note not to buy meat or fat that is yellow in color as it may indicate the pig has a pigmentation disease, or it could be parasitic-infected pork…
- Signs of water-injected pigs include excessive fluid leakage from cuts, muscle looseness, and pale-colored meat.

How to choose delicious fresh pineapples
- Delicious ripe pineapples usually have an eye-catching yellow color, sometimes mixed with green in some places. These are fruits that have ripened well and reached a certain level of sweetness.
- It is advisable to choose fruits that are slightly round and short, as these will have more flesh compared to long-shaped ones.
- Choose pineapples with larger eyes if possible. These are mature fruits, naturally ripened, and not artificially ripened.
- If the pineapple is just ripe, you will feel a moderate softness when touching it. The skin of ripe pineapples is usually slightly wrinkled.

How to prepare Stir-fried Pork with Pineapple
-
Prepare the pork
To eliminate the unpleasant smell of pork, use salt to rub on the piece of meat, then rinse it with clean water and use a knife to cut the meat into bite-sized slices.
How to clean pork properly, without odor:
- To completely remove the smell of pork, before preparing the dish, briefly dip the meat in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then take it out and rinse it with cold water.
- Another useful tip is that you can add a little white wine to the water used for blanching the pork. The wine is very effective in eliminating unpleasant odors.
After preparing, place the meat in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, then use plastic wrap to tightly cover the bowl and shake it well to coat the meat evenly with the flour.
Next, place a pan on the stove and add 150ml of cooking oil to the pan. Wait for the oil to heat up, then add the meat and fry for 2 – 3 minutes until the meat is golden brown, then turn off the heat and remove the meat to drain the oil.
