To eliminate the odor of meat

Preparation:

– Pork

– A pot of clean water for boiling

– 1 dried onion; white wine

How to do:

Crush the dried onion. Rinse the meat thoroughly under running water, then place the pork in the pot of water. Then, add the crushed onion to the pot. Boil until the meat is cooked. The fragrant aroma of dried onion will eliminate the odor of the meat.

Furthermore, after boiling until the meat is cooked, you can add a few drops of white wine to the pot, then remove the meat and let it drain, the meat will no longer have the foul odor and will become more delicious.

In addition, regularly skimming off scum will make the broth clearer, resulting in cleaner and less odor meat.

To boil white meat

To make pork whiter when boiling, you should prepare a pot of water, add a little vinegar and salt, then bring it to a boil. Then, put the piece of meat in, let the water boil for about 3 minutes, then remove the meat, rinse it with warm water until clean. Then, boil another pot of water and put the meat in to boil until cooked.

To prevent the meat from becoming dry after boiling

Note that you should not use too high heat when boiling the meat as it will make the meat dry. Use medium heat, and when the water boils, reduce the heat. Regularly skimming off scum will make the meat white and tender, and the broth clear.

Ladies take note, if you want the meat to be not dry after boiling, after the water has boiled for about 10 minutes, use a bamboo skewer to test the meat, if the meat still releases pink water, continue boiling for another 5 minutes, but if the meat is cooked, the skewer will easily go through the meat. This way, the meat will be perfectly cooked, tender, and not dry.

In addition, you need to skim off the foam regularly to keep the broth clear and the meat clean without any odor.

After the pork is boiled, you can remove the meat and put it in a bowl of boiling water to let it cool, squeezing a few drops of lemon juice. This tip helps the meat to be white, fragrant, and tender, especially not dry or sticky when slicing. Soak for about 5 minutes, then remove it to a plate and slice.

Choosing pork

When choosing meat, choose pieces that have a fresh pink color, use your finger to touch the meat, fresh meat will be sticky. Or you can press it to check the elasticity, good fresh meat will have high elasticity and no foul odor.
