How to choose good lean pork thigh
- First, you must choose fresh meat. The color of good meat is bright pink, not too red and not too pale. Pork that is pale, has a greenish tint, and has a foul smell has gone bad, so you should not choose this type of meat.
- Pork that is firm and has high elasticity is good meat. You can test it by pressing your finger into the meat; if it bounces back immediately, is not slimy, and does not leak water or juice, then it is good.
- You should choose pork thigh or belly that has both lean and fatty meat so that your dish does not become dry or overly greasy.
How to choose good pork skin
- Good pork skin should be chosen from the skin beneath the loin, shoulder meat, with thick, flat skin, and large size for easier preparation. You should not choose belly skin because this part does not have elasticity, thin skin can easily be torn, and is not crispy and delicious.
- Pinkish skin, with elasticity, and no foul smell is good pork skin.

Prepare the ingredients

Tips for cleaning pork to be fresh and odor-free
- To completely eliminate the odor of pork, before making the dish, briefly dip the piece of meat in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then remove it and rinse it with cold water.
- Another handy tip is that you can add a little white wine to the water used for blanching the pork. The alcohol is very effective in eliminating odors.
How to clean pork skin
- You can clean the hair by dipping the pork skin in boiling water for about 3 minutes to firm it up, then use tweezers to pluck out any remaining hair on the pork skin. Use a knife to trim off all excess fat under the skin to make it crispier.
- Washing with lemon and salt helps to make the pork skin whiter and cleaner.
