How to choose good pork

Before turning pork into delicious, nutritious dishes, the first step is to choose fresh, clean meat. So how do you choose pork? STAVI would like to share the following tips for choosing good pork:

- Choose meat with a dry surface, a bright red color and slightly firm texture. The fat should be light in color and firm, not mushy.

- Fresh pork has a characteristic pleasant smell, with no fishy or foul odor.

- Press the meat with your finger and release immediately to check its elasticity. If the meat springs back quickly and is pinkish red, it is fresh and good.

How to remove the odor from pork

A very important step for removing the odor from meat is to blanch it in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then rinse it in cold water; the meat will no longer smell, and it will taste better when cooked. To remove the odor, you can crush 1 shallot and add a little white wine to the boiling water so the broth smells better.

In addition, while boiling the meat, regularly skim off the foam and scum so the broth is clearer and less odorous.

Caramelized braised pork

Caramelized braised pork is a dish familiar to every Vietnamese, and almost everyone knows how to cook it. For tender, beautifully colored, rich braised pork, you need to choose really good pork belly with both lean meat and fat. Cut the meat into large cubes so the pieces braise evenly and look good. Boil duck eggs, peel them and add them to braise with the meat. If you want the duck eggs to look nicer and be more pleasantly chewy, you can fry them until golden. The seasonings used are: pepper, fish sauce, chili, sugar and fresh coconut water. Braise the meat over a low simmer so it becomes tender, fragrant and absorbs the seasonings.
