3. Notes when making the mixed pork stir-fry
– To cook this dish, you should choose pork loin because it is usually tender, not fatty, and has a high protein content. This is the part of the meat cut from the front shoulder and runs along the spine of the pig. If you want to know if the meat is fresh and good, you can lightly press the meat. If the meat is still pink, elastic, and not sticky, it is safe to buy.
– Choose cucumbers with even color and no blemishes on the peel. In addition, choose cucumbers that are elongated, evenly sized, as they are usually plump, and taste crunchier.
