Pork is a type of meat that we eat almost every day, every week. Sometimes we even have two meals of pork. However, if you still think that pork ribs or pork belly are the best parts, then you are mistaken! These are just two delicious and quickly sold out parts, you have to go to the market early in the morning to buy them!
1. Cheeks

Cheeks
– Characteristics: Cheeks are the inner part of the pig’s cheek, the remaining part is called the outer cheek! The outer cheek is also delicious but slightly fatty and not as tasty as the inner cheek. Cheeks have many tendons, the tendons are interspersed with meat but the tendons are very soft, not hard or chewy.
– Cooking method: It is best to steam. Steaming instead of boiling or stir-frying will help the cheeks retain their natural sweetness, and the layer of tendons will not become mushy. However, if you have steamed cheeks too many times, you can thinly slice the cheeks and stir-fry or cook soup with other vegetables according to your preference!

The best way to enjoy cheeks is steamed, but stir-frying or cooking soup is also delicious!
2. Pork collar meat

Pork collar meat
– Characteristics: As the name suggests, pork collar meat is the bottom part of the pork collar. Usually, this part of the meat is separated from the fat to be sold separately because this meat is neither dry nor too fatty like the whole pork collar.

If the meat is too lean, it will be dry, if it is too fatty, it will be greasy and cause weight gain. That’s why pork collar meat is one of the two most delicious parts because the amount of fat is in perfect balance with the lean meat
– Cooking method: Thinly slice the pork collar meat, dip in hot pot or simmer with fish sauce for an extremely delicious dish. In addition, you can also use the pork collar meat instead of beef when cooking pho, it will be equally delicious as beef!

Pork collar meat is also easy to cook
Cheeks and pork collar meat are the two fastest-selling parts in the meat counters or meat sections in supermarkets! If you have the habit of going to the supermarket or market around noon or in the afternoon, chances are you still don’t know that these two parts are sold separately.
