How to choose fresh and delicious pork belly
- You should choose pieces of meat that are bright pink, have high elasticity, and do not leave a dent when pressed with your hand.
- Fresh meat will be firm, evenly colored, not slimy, and have no unpleasant odor.
- In addition, you should choose meat with a balanced ratio of lean meat and fat, with a thick outer skin, fat about 1.5 – 2cm thick, and the lean meat tightly attached to the fat, which will taste better when stewed.
- You can buy ground meat on-site or ask the seller to grind it fresh. If not, you can buy the meat home and use a meat grinder to grind it.
