How to choose pork
When choosing pork, feel its firmness and hardness with your fingers first. Fresh meat should have elasticity that is firm yet slightly soft, giving a sense of heaviness and elasticity when held in hand. Additionally, compare the texture of the meat and fat. The best meat has a light red color with grayish tinge, bright and lustrous.
