How to choose good and safe pork
- Good pork usually has a light pink or light red color, with fat that is slightly translucent white. Fresh meat when sniffed will have a characteristic fragrant smell, with no unusual fishy odor.
- Press your hand on the piece of meat to feel if it is elastic, firm, not too tough, nor mushy, and with no sticky liquid oozing out, then it can be selected for purchase.
- Do not choose pieces of meat that are purple or unusually pale, and definitely avoid meat that smells bad or is slimy.
How to prepare Boiled Vegetable Rolled Meat

Prepare the ingredients
Use a knife to remove the fat and white membrane on the outside of the lean meat piece.
To eliminate the odor of the meat, rub salt evenly over the meat piece for about 3 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Next, use a knife to cut the meat into a thin layer in a circular shape.
Note: It’s best to go slowly to avoid breaking the meat while slicing. Choose shoulder meat, which will be softer and easier to roll for beginners.Next, cut off the ends of the okra so that they match the width of the meat piece.
Peel the carrot, cut it into thin strands about 1/2 the thickness of a small finger, and the length equal to the width of the meat piece.
Separate each layer of the lemongrass stalk, then wash it clean and briefly boil in hot water for about 5 minutes to prevent the lemongrass leaves from breaking when tying the meat.
For the lemongrass core, keep it to boil with the meat. Finally, chop the chili to mix with the fish sauce.
Tip: To ensure safety and create a fragrance for the meat when boiling, you should use lemongrass to tie the meat instead of using plastic string.
-
Roll the meat with vegetables
Lay the piece of meat flat on the cutting board, gradually arrange the okra and carrots inside and start rolling tightly along the length of the meat.
Next, use the lemongrass to secure the rolled meat tightly.
-
Boil the meat
Place a pot with about 500ml of water on the stove, bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then add the rolled meat with vegetables and the remaining lemongrass to eliminate the odor of the meat.
After boiling, skim off the dirty foam that rises to the surface, reduce the heat and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes until the meat is fully cooked.
Finally, remove the meat and soak it in a bowl of ice water for 3-5 minutes to cool, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Tip: To prevent the vegetables from getting mushy and separating from the meat, remember to soak the meat in the ice water bowl after boiling!
