How to make delicious leg meat

It is very important to clean the pork leg before cooking it, because if the pork is cooked directly without being cleaned, it will have a very strong bloody smell and it will not be easy to taste. So you have to cut it and put it in a bowl and marinate for a while. Before marinating, you need to blanch it in water to remove the blood foam and some impurities mixed in the pork, so that the meat becomes more tender.

1. Pork should be cut diagonally. Pork meat is relatively fine and has few tendons. If it is cut horizontally, it will become messy and scattered after frying. If it is cut diagonally, it will not break into pieces and will not get stuck in your teeth when you eat it. Pork should not be soaked in water for a long time.

2. Do not wash pork with hot water before cooking, because pork contains a substance called myofibril, which is easily soluble in water above 15 degrees Celsius. If it is soaked in hot water, it will lose a lot of nutrients and the taste will also be poor. [1]

3. Pork should be cooked thoroughly because pork sometimes contains parasites. If eaten raw or not fully cooked, hookworms may parasitize the liver or brain.
