How to choose fresh and delicious pork belly
- Choose meat that is light red or bright pink; when cut, observe that the meat has a pinkish-white color, is slightly shiny, and the layers of fat in between are bright white.
- Good, clean pork belly usually has the meat and fat tightly attached to each other, not too loose when held in hand. The outer layer of skin and fat is about 1.5 – 2cm thick.
- Do not buy meat that smells fishy or spoiled because it has been stored for too long or has been chemically injected.
