How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork ribs
- Choose fresh pork ribs that are light pink in color and dry. Select pieces of meat that have a thick loin and less fat for better taste and tenderness.
- Press down to see if the meat has good elasticity, is firm, and does not ooze slime. The piece of meat should still cling tightly to the bone, not be crumbly or loose.
- Do not buy meat that is soft and mushy, has slimy ooze, is purple or has an unusual foul smell.
How to choose fresh pig trotters
- It is advisable to choose the hind trotters of the pig as they usually have more meat, are firm, and have higher nutritional value.
- Press down with your hand to see if the pig trotter has good elasticity, is firm, with the hoof intact, and has little or no hair.
- Do not select pig trotters that have an unusual green or purple color, abnormal slimy ooze, or an unusual foul smell.
What is chili sauce? Where to buy it?
- Chili sauce is made from horn peppers and bird’s eye chili that are boiled until soft, then blended and cooked with spices such as cinnamon powder, star anise powder, pepper, vinegar as well as sugar and salt.
- You can add cooking oil to the chili sauce to produce a final product similar to satay or, alternatively, if you do not use oil, the final product will be thick and look similar to tomato sauce.
- This type of sauce can be found at stalls selling various spices or bought at supermarkets as well as on e-commerce websites.
