Choosing Pork for Boiling
– To prepare a delicious and appealing boiled pork dish, selecting the right type of pork is essential. You can use either pork leg or pork belly for boiling.
– However, it is crucial to choose fresh and clean pork that meets food safety standards and has no unpleasant odor. The fresher and better quality the pork is, the more flavorful and appealing it will be after boiling.
– It is recommended to purchase pork from reputable shops or supermarkets as the meat sold there has undergone health and safety inspections, ensuring it is safe for consumption.
Rinse the Pork Thoroughly with Salted Water
Once you have purchased the pork, it is important to rinse it thoroughly. To effectively remove impurities and any unpleasant odors from the meat, it is advisable to wash it with diluted salt water. Afterward, rinse the pork multiple times with clean water to ensure it is completely clean.
The Secret to Boiling Pork
Boiling pork is a relatively simple process, but to ensure the best results, keep the following tips in mind:
– Boil a pot of cold water with a little vinegar, and briefly dip the pork into it for about 2 minutes. This step helps remove any impurities from the meat.
– Boil a new pot of water, and add 1-2 crushed shallots along with a pinch of salt. Adding these ingredients will enhance the flavor and aroma of the boiled pork.
– To check if the pork is cooked, pierce it with a chopstick. If there is no pink liquid seeping out and the chopstick goes through the meat easily, it is done. Otherwise, continue cooking until it is ready.
– When boiling the pork, start with high heat, and then reduce to low heat to ensure even cooking without overcooking the meat. The boiling time depends on the thickness of the pork cut you are using.
– Once the pork is cooked, immediately transfer it to a bowl of boiled water that has been allowed to cool. This step helps maintain the meat’s color, keeping it white and tender, as well as preserving its delicious flavor.
With these tips, you can now boil pork to perfection, resulting in tender, flavorful, and nutritious meat for your family. Serve this boiled pork dish with fresh herbs and a dipping sauce of pure fish sauce or chili sauce for an enhanced flavor experience. Bon appétit!
