How to choose fresh and delicious pork thigh
- Pork thigh is the meat cut from the pig’s thigh, consisting of 3 layers – skin, fat, and muscle clearly defined, with the lean meat layer being thicker.
- The meat piece should be dry, not sticky, with normal smell and color, firm texture, high elasticity, and when pressing a finger into the meat, it should create a dent but not leave a mark when lifting the finger. The meat fibers should be even.
- The meat fiber should be firm, non-sticky to the touch, and when cut, the inside should be bright red; pressing a finger against it should not leave an indentation and should have good elasticity.

Prepare the marinade spices
When you buy galangal, peel off the outer skin and wash it clean, then put it in a mortar and pound it into a paste. Wash the lemongrass, cut one part into sections, crush and tear it into small pieces, and slice the remaining part thinly.

Prepare and marinate the pork
Wash the pork thigh, cut it into thin pieces. Remove any remaining hairs on the skin.
Add one part of the pounded galangal, add a little seasoning, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and mix well. Let it sit for 5 minutes for the spices to penetrate the meat.

Grilled meat
You place a pan on the stove, add the shredded lemongrass into the pan, add a little cooking oil, and stir well.
