2 Tips To Keep Your Pork Tender and Bursting With Flavour
Even if you buy the highest quality pork, such as that from Hong Kong Heritage Pork, you need to know how to handle it properly to maintain the quality during storage. Taiwanese culinary scientist Gary Chang has 2 tips you should know:
Method 1: Quickly freeze and defrost your pork to soften it
Buying fresh pork is always preferable if you prioritise taste. One tip to make sure you get the most flavour and enjoyment out of your pork is to freeze what you plan on cooking for 1 hour, and letting it defrost immediately before cooking. Doing this will help soften the pork meat and make it more tender. For any uncooked pork you don't plan on cooking within 2 days, make sure to keep it frozen for a longer shelf life.
Method 2: Soak the pork in salt water to get rid of the smell
If there is a slightly unpleasant smell from your pork or it does not smell too fresh, avoid washing it with tap water, otherwise the flavour will get washed away too. One solution recommended is to soak it in 1% salt water, which effectively removes the smell while preserving the flavour.
