How to choose good pork butt
- The color of good meat is bright pink, neither too red nor too pale. Pork that has a pale color, turns green, and smells bad is spoiled, so you should avoid 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 juices, it’s good.
- For this sour salted meat dish, you should choose lean meat.

Prepare the Meat
After purchasing 500g of pork butt, rub it clean with salt, rinse it with water, and then place it in a colander to drain.
Tip:
- To eliminate odors and make the meat cleaner, you can also briefly boil the meat before preparation.
- Another useful tip is to add a little white wine to the water when blanching the pork. The wine is very effective at removing unpleasant odors.
Use a knife to cut the meat into pieces about the thickness of a finger.
-
Marinate the Meat
Put the meat in a bowl with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, then mix well and add 150g of rice bran and continue to mix thoroughly.
-
Meat Fermentation
Lay 8 guava leaves at the bottom of the glass jar and then add the marinated meat.
Continue to lay another 8 guava leaves on the surface of the meat, then place a small bowl on top of the leaves, close the jar to press the meat.
After that, let the meat ferment at room temperature for about 3 – 4 days to complete.

Final Product
The sour salted meat dish brings the festive atmosphere, delicious, attractive, making the meal even more flavorful. Enjoy this dish with guava leaves, dills, and figs along with chili sauce for an amazing experience!
How to preserve sour salted meat
- You should store sour salted meat in the refrigerator’s cool compartment to slow down the acidity. To keep the meat last longer and avoid water soaking into it, turn the lid of the jar upside down.
- If you have opened the sour meat, you should use it all at once or keep it in the refrigerator’s cool compartment for another 3 days; keeping it too long will cause the meat to leak water, losing its original delicious taste.
