Tips for buying fresh pork belly
One of the ways to choose good quality pork is to select pieces that have a fresh pink color, indicating that the meat is newly slaughtered and delicious. In addition, you need to test the meat’s elasticity. If the meat has good elasticity, it means it is fresh. On the contrary, if the meat is soft and spongy, it is not a good choice as it will not be flavorful. Furthermore, you need to choose meat based on its smell. If the meat has a pleasant smell, it is a good choice. Otherwise, if the meat has a strange smell, it is best to avoid it.
Grilling the meat with betel leaves
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
First, take the betel leaves and wash them thoroughly. Peel the shallots and garlic and then pound them in a mortar and pestle. Use this mixture to remove the pork belly’s unpleasant smell. After rubbing the meat lightly with salt, rinse it with clean water. Then, use a knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Blanch the meat
One of the tips to eliminate the pork’s unpleasant smell is to blanch it in boiling water with a crushed shallot for about 3 minutes. Shallots will help remove the smell effectively.
In addition, white wine can also be used to remove the meat’s unpleasant smell. Just add a little white wine to the boiling water before removing the meat. Then, rinse the meat with cold water and continue with the cooking process. The meat will no longer have any unpleasant smell, and the dish made from pork will be more delicious.
Step 2: Marinate the meat
After preparing the pork belly, marinate it with pounded garlic and shallots, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1.5 teaspoons of seasoning powder, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of five-spice powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of watercolor (gravy), 1 teaspoon of chicken powder, and 1 teaspoon of ground pepper. Let it marinate for about 1 hour for the meat to absorb the flavors.
Step 3: Skewer the meat, alternating with a piece of betel leaf.
Step 4: Grill the meat
Next, place the meat on the grill over charcoal for about 40 – 50 minutes until the meat is evenly cooked and golden brown on both sides.
Step 5: Finished Dish
That’s it! You now have a delicious and attractive dish of grilled pork belly skewers with betel leaf for your meal today.
