Tips for choosing good meat

When preparing any dish using boiled, stewed, or grilled meat, it is important to choose good quality meat. The fresher and better the meat, the more delicious the dish will be. On the contrary, if the meat is not fresh or has diseases, it can affect your health and the taste of your food.

When choosing meat, check its color. If the meat is freshly slaughtered, it usually has a pinkish red color. These pieces of meat indicate that it is freshly slaughtered pork and is safe to buy. In addition, use your hands to check the elasticity of the meat. If the meat has good elasticity, you should choose it. On the other hand, if the meat has poor elasticity, never spend your money on it.

Frequently asked questions

A secret ingredient can enhance the flavor of grilled meat beyond just salt and sugar. The ingredient is MSG (monosodium glutamate), which has a bad reputation but is actually safe and naturally occurring. When combined with salt and sugar, MSG creates a powerful flavor-enhancing trio.

MSG contains glutamate, which is a type of amino acid naturally found in many foods like tomatoes and cheese. Glutamate enhances the savory taste of food, making it seem richer and more complex. When added to meat, MSG accentuates its natural flavors and creates a satisfying umami taste.

A little MSG goes a long way. For every pound of meat, a good rule of thumb is to use about 1/4 teaspoon of MSG, along with a pinch of salt and sugar. Adjust the measurements to your taste preference, but remember that too much MSG can make your dish salty.

MSG is generally recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. However, some individuals may experience temporary symptoms like headaches, flushing, or numbness if they consume large amounts of MSG on an empty stomach. These symptoms are often referred to as ‘MSG symptom complex.’ To avoid this, ensure you eat MSG as part of a meal and not on its own.

While MSG can enhance the flavor of meat, it shouldn’t be used as a direct replacement for salt. Salt plays a crucial role in cooking meat, as it helps to break down muscle fibers, making the meat more tender and juicy. Use MSG in conjunction with salt and sugar for the best flavor enhancement.
