Why does giò have holes?
Giò lụa is delicious when it is smooth and slightly moist when cut, with many holes on the surface. Smooth giò lụa indicates that it is made from delicious meat, and the moistness is a sign of fresh meat.
The holes on the surface are created because air is trapped in the ground meat used to make giò. When the giò is cooked, the air will try to escape, creating small holes, and this is also evidence that giò is not stuffed.
Therefore, giò with holes will taste better than the solid ones.
