This bacon was processed in 1902 by the Gwaltney Foods meat company before it was lost in storage. When discovered two decades later, Pembroke D. Gwaltney Jr. turn it into “pet bacon”. It was added with a copper necklace and taken to numerous exhibitions to demonstrate to customers that the company’s meat could be preserved without refrigeration. “Pet Salted Meat” In 1931, PD Gwaltney Jr. walked into a hotel in Washington DC (USA) with a suitcase in hand, wondering if it was possible to store the luggage in the hotel’s secure storage. The receptionist looked at the suitcase and asked what was so important in it. Answer by Gwaltney Jr. very simple: “Ah, just my pet bacon”. He’s not joking, and he’s also serious about wanting to keep the meat safe. An insurance company valued it at $5,000 at the time – the equivalent of $77,000 today. “Every time he goes to a food show, Gwaltney Jr. brings a special chain, which he pins the chain to the floor so that no one can steal the meat,” said Tracey L. Neikirk, curator of the Isle County Museum of Wight, Smithfield, Virginia – said. The piece of meat has its own brass ring and is owned by Gwaltney Jr. called “pets”. Photo: Southerning. Gwaltney Jr. is the owner of one of Virginia’s most successful bacon processing companies. He promoted his business by bringing his 30-year-old “pet bacon”, then 30 years old, to trade fairs, food shows, even naval ships. It’s all part of a clever marketing plan that positions Gwaltney’s hometown as the “Bacon Capital of the World”. The piece of meat was carried everywhere. Photo: Southerning. Salted meat has been associated with the name of the Virginia region since the early days of the state’s founding. According to The Country Ham by Jeanne Voltz and Elaine J. Harvell, when the English colonists arrived in Jamestown in 1607, they brought a boat full of pigs. The next boat is full of piglets. They proliferated throughout nearby Williamsburg, so much so that locals moved the pigs to an island on the west bank of the James River, now known as Hog Island. The number of pigs growing around Smithfield and the Isle of Wight is increasing. When peanuts became popular in the area after the Civil War, pigs were free to roam the fields, eating peanuts left over from the harvest. These “peanut-fed” pigs help make Smithfield and the region’s bacon in the culinary world. Peanut-raised pork and a complicated and time-consuming salting process have created a unique flavor of salted meat, surprising the world’s gourmets. By the mid-19th century, Queen Victoria ordered six pieces of Smithfield bacon a week for the palace kitchen. Their prices skyrocketed. Smithfield bacon is world famous. Photo: Denverpost. As other places began to fake lower quality meat and sell it under the name Smithfield bacon, Virginia put strict rules on the meat bearing this name: Pigs had to be fed peanuts, meat had to be salted in Smithfield boundary. In other words, Smithfield has become the Champagne region of bacon. More than 100 years of history In 1891, PD Gwaltney Jr. joined his father’s peanut business – Gwaltney Sr. – at Smithfield and helped scale the company. Gwaltney Foods became a “big man” in the salt meat processing industry. At this point, Gwaltney the son learned a few marketing tricks from his father. A year ago, his father picked up a groundnut from a local field, wrote the year of harvest on it, beginning to show those curious about the quality of his produce how well the peanuts were preserved. The world’s oldest peanut also comes from the Gwaltney family. Photo: Isle of Wight Museum. After many years, Mr. Gwaltney Sr. Realizing the age of the peanut itself is an attractive feature. Today, it is the oldest groundnut in the world. In 1902, Gwaltney Jr. does the same thing when a ham is accidentally left in storage. When he discovered the meat, he immediately saw a great business opportunity and decided to keep it to see how long it could last. Years passed, and in August 1921, a storehouse of peanuts owned by the Gwaltney family caught fire, setting tons of peanuts and a nearby bacon store on fire. According to the Isle of Wight County Museum, “the smell of peanuts and burning fat lingered in the air for weeks.” Luckily, Gwaltney Jr.’s pet meatballs. was stored elsewhere and escaped safely. The fire severely damaged the Smithfield peanut business, making bacon the town’s main export. Gwaltney Jr. began to focus on promoting their salted meat products, which meant bringing the old meat everywhere. He bought it $1,000 insurance, then increased it to $5,000. In 1932, the piece of meat appeared on the show “Believe it Or Not” (roughly translated: Believe it or not), which stated that the meat was “still soft, sweet and edible after 30 years”. To date, the 118-year-old piece of meat is officially recognized as the world’s oldest bacon – burnt red, with dotted white and yellow streaks and wrinkled skin. The lump of meat is still edible, but the taste has changed a lot. Photo: Mentalfloss. Neikirk, curator of the Isle of Wight county museum, said the lump of meat smelled of smoke and wood. The dry salting process used to create the mass of meat involves salting and drying the blood, helping the meat to last longer and have a richer flavor. Although still edible, this hundred-year-old meat is not as delicious as before. “It’s like dried meat now,” Neikirk said. The appearance of the meat is also difficult to make visitors feel delicious. It looks like leather, and many people even liken it to a human arm soaked in chemicals for a long time. The meat is on display at the Isle of Wight county museum in a temperature-controlled glass case. This is also the place where the world’s oldest peanut tuber is located and the world’s largest block of salted meat weighs more than 29 kg. 2 famous pieces of meat hold the world record. Photo: Mentalfloss. Today, the museum continues to make the interesting journey of the bacon. Every year, a competition called “Pan-Ham” is held. Visitors will bring a photo of Gwaltney and the “pet meat” with them to locations around the world. The winner will receive a basket of peanuts. This particular piece of meat also has a Twitter account with its own account manager. A 24/7 webcam goes live on this account, allowing “fans” to watch the meat wherever it is.

When choosing the right tomatoes for drying, you should pay attention to those that are medium in size, not too juicy and necessarily red, because pink or yellow tomatoes contain more moisture. Do not give priority to tomatoes grown in the greenhouse, but prefer those grown in the garden in an open space. Of course, given the conditions of city life, this is often problematic. Therefore, it is better to solve the problem of preparing tomatoes for further drying in the summer, when there is an opportunity to buy fruits in the garden. Illustration. Ingredients for making dried tomatoes include: – 1kg of fresh tomatoes – 15ml olive oil – 5g of fine salt – A little garlic, fragrant leaves as you like 1kg of fresh tomatoes will give about 200g of dried tomatoes. Preliminary treatment – You can wash the tomatoes, remove the stalks and cut them into wedges or slices. It will taste better if you peel off the tomato skin! To marinate tomatoes, we need 2 basic ingredients: salt and olive oil. Also, if you want more flavor, you can use any seasoning you like. For example: garlic, pepper, rosemary, oregano… We put olive oil, salt and coriander leaves in the tomatoes and mix well. Marinate for 10 minutes. Drying – Arrange the tomatoes on the griddle. We will have 2 ways to dry tomatoes: Dry in the sun If you use this method, you will need to dry for about 3 days. And pay attention to good preservation, leave tomatoes in a dry place at night between drying days. Oven drying: – If you use an oven to dry, then dry it at 90 degrees Celsius for about 3-4 hours! Pay attention to the tray below, because tomatoes can bleed a lot of water during the drying process. After 1 hour of drying, the tomatoes will begin to wilt. After 2 hours, the tomatoes will start to dry again. You keep drying like this until the tomatoes reach the desired dryness! Dried tomatoes are a bit flexible plus a little fatty aroma of olive oil, so it’s very flavorful Dried tomatoes served with smoked meat and bread are delicious!

The bowl of grilled pork vermicelli is not only beautiful in color, but when you eat it, you will feel a lot of flavors at the same time. It is the greasy sweetness of roasted peanuts, the cool and sour taste of vegetables, the spicy taste of fresh chili, the cool taste of vermicelli and meat. If you want delicious grilled pork vermicelli, you must use thinly sliced ​​pork belly, grilled evenly with charcoal. Grilled meat that is too burnt or too rare will also reduce the taste of the noodle bowl. Hue grilled pork vermicelli dish looks simple, but it’s not easy to have a delicious bowl of Hue vermicelli. The hardest part is the barbecue. Thinly sliced ​​(sliced) meat in a large bowl and seasoned with lemongrass, garlic, pepper, fish sauce, salt, monosodium glutamate, oil, sugar, and a little white sesame to make the meat more fragrant when grilled. Then mix the meat well to infuse the spices and arrange the meat on a griddle. However, for those who like grilled meat with a sour taste, then squeeze the meat down to quickly absorb the spices, leave it in the refrigerator for one night, or marinate the meat in the morning or afternoon. Grilled meat must be turned continuously, the fat will melt and make the meat look more eye-catching. When the meat is just cooked, the smoke rises with a fragrant aroma, anyone who smells it will feel the stomach rumbling. Another important thing is the broth sprinkled on the vermicelli. This water must be mixed so that the taste is strong, and the consistency is just right, to help the spices blend together. When bringing grilled pork vermicelli to Hanoi, barbecue noodle shops often reduce the sweet and spicy taste like a bowl of grilled pork vermicelli in Hue to suit the taste of diners here. Eating vermicelli with grilled meat must be mixed with the new broth to be delicious. Although it is an additive water, if it is not available or replaced with other water, it cannot be delicious. The way to cook the broth is also simple but do not be impatient when cooking. Mix water into flour, soy sauce, crushed peanuts and sesame, sugar, fish sauce, a little salt, stir well, then bring to a boil, but not too thick, not too liquid, but thick and thick. Fresh, delicious, full of flavor. After completing the steps, just put some vermicelli in a bowl, add raw vegetables, arrange meat on top and put a cup of broth next to it, the bowl of vermicelli is also attractive to diners by its color and flavor. . In addition, adding a few sweet and sour stalks made from papaya, crispy grated carrots is even more interesting. Many people think that Hue grilled pork vermicelli will quickly get bored because of grilled pork belly, but the greasy taste of grilled meat, beans, and sesame blends in with the aroma of vegetables, the cool taste of vermicelli, and the crispiness of papaya , carrots make the fatty taste of meat also become much softer.

Illustration Green bananas are peeled by my mother, cut into bite-sized pieces, all of them. The bacon is just cut into pieces and marinated with some main noodles, spices, chopped dried onions. The bean covers are cut into square pieces, fried until golden brown. In the past, to cook banana pea snails, people often used toasted golden roasted turmeric soaked apricot beans. When eating, the piece of beans still has a slight smell of coal smoke, so it has a very unique flavor. But now, the baked beans in the market have gradually disappeared. The pot of broth is boiled from the bones of the pipe that has boiled on the stove. Green onions, perilla, guise leaves, and the smell of Chinese boats I have also washed and chopped. When the ingredients were almost ready, my mother told me to wash the snails and put them in a pot of boiling water with a little salt. When the snails are cooked, the mother quickly pours them into the basket and then drains cold water. Snail juice is gently decanted into a bowl after settling. My two brothers huddled together to help my mother. In just a moment, the snail meat was cooked in a bowl and my mother told me to wash it again with water mixed with diluted vinegar and then marinate with some main noodles, delicious fish sauce, turmeric powder, and cooking oil. Put the pot on the stove, my mother fried the dried onions very fragrant and then put the snails into the stir-fry. With snails, she only lightly sautéed them and when she came out, she didn’t forget to pick up a bit of shrimp paste to enhance the taste. Remove the snails into the bowl, my mother continued to stir-fry the pork belly with only a little bit of fire, then put the bananas in and stir-fry together to really absorb the salt and fish sauce. At this time, my mother put a plate of golden fried beans and sautéed them with bananas and meat, then poured the broth into the pot, simmering. There are many ways to prepare the broth for the banana bean vermicelli, but my mother often chooses to “fight” together the simmered bone broth and boiled snail water in the pot after stirring the other ingredients. Add a bowl of natural or batch vinegar to the pot of broth to get a mild sour taste and then simmer. When the banana is ripe, we will have a thick pot of banana bean broth, all the ingredients blend together with a harmonious taste. The pot of bananas and beans is boiling and fragrant in the kitchen. I divide the vermicelli into each bowl, put the fried snails on top with green onions and herbs so that my mother can fill the broth with bananas, beans, and meat on top. The bowl of white vermicelli is mixed with a thick broth with pieces of banana, fresh yellow beans with a little green onion on top, which is eye-catching. The banana bean snail noodle dish is finished, the whole family gathers together to enjoy. Everyone scoffed with the fatty leopard flavor of meat, the flesh of bananas, the crunchy sweetness of snails, the mild sourness of the broth served with raw vegetables, adding a bit of hot chili pepper to the tip of the tongue. Raw vegetables served with this vermicelli dish cannot lack lettuce, coriander, herbs, perilla, a little banana flower and thinly sliced ​​banana stem. Later, I had the opportunity to go to many places, enjoy some other local dishes.

Like the hierarchy in a certain definition, fish sauce is a dish reserved for the class that still has many difficulties to survive. But I dimly realized that the fish house society still has its own rules and voices. The snakehead fish sauce is cooked with pork fat, sugar + monosodium glutamate + ground pepper, dipped with boiled okra or cucumber, or eaten with purple potato soup cooked with shrimp or minced meat only for the wealthy. The pot of braised fish sauce is even more remote because it is expensive when it comes to bacon, snakehead fish and silver shrimp, … I choose friends with a cup of fish sauce very early. My mother told me to buy a tamarind from her sister’s 5 Pieces, go back and eat with cold rice. Selling sour tamarind to Saigon with lots of zinc, needing to be tall, sister 5 is young but likes to eat betel nut. She’s so cute, she never takes money and keeps telling me to eat as much as I can.

In my young years, I still don’t have a satisfactory answer when Chau Doc – An Giang and Ca Mau are always affectionately called “the kingdom or land of fish sauce”, but Can Tho is resounding with fish sauce hotpot. Asking the elders in the West, I received the answer: the West knows how to make fish sauce from Indonesia and snakehead fish sauce is suggested by Khmer people. Borrowing the method of making beef sauce from snakehead fish in the Ho Sea, Can Tho is the economic center of the Southern Continent, where “white rice with clear water” has created a method of fermenting fish with Vietnamese identity: using Listen to fermented roasted rice, instead of cold rice. The Khmer people are sincere and honest, but the cuisine is still entangled in the wild. Living in harmony between the two rainy and sunny seasons along the Mekong River, both the Khmer and the Southern people gradually perfect the rustic dishes from fish sauce. Khmer people in the West know how to apply more spices to make beef sauce wrapped in green banana leaves more fragrant. Snakehead fish in the pot of braised fish of the West is replaced with basa or howling fish for fatter.

If you want the fish sauce to be strong or light, depending on the amount of fresh coconut water you add to dilute the fish sauce. Bring to a boil again, I season to taste. Among the spices I’ve tried, for me, garlic and lemongrass are the best, so I minced them and put them in the hot pot to add extra fat.

Following the above decrease, the price of thin pork (wholesale pig/jaw) of grades 1 and 2 also dropped sharply by about 12,000-15,000 VND/kg, to 85,000 VND/kg grade 1 and 78,000 VND/kg grade 2, respectively. However, the price of mixed pork belly has not decreased much, only about 5,000 VND/kg. Specifically, the previous sausage from 90,000 VND/kg to 85,000 VND/kg; drumstick drumsticks 85,000 VND/kg to 80,000 VND/kg, lean chips 110,000 VND/kg to 105,000 VND/kg. Particularly, young ribs still keep the price of 150,000 VND/kg, while before it was at 145,000 VND/kg. Explaining the above disproportionate price reduction, Mr. Tien said that normally, when the price of pigs goes down, the price of thin pigs will also drop directly, even if the reduction is more than the price of live pigs. Particularly, mixed pork usually does not decrease immediately, but gradually, on the contrary, the increase will also be gradual because traders and traders have signed contracts with each other in advance for a fixed period of time. Retail pork prices are still high, making consumers wonder. That is also the reason why small traders in some retail markets said that the price of pork of all kinds they sold has not decreased much, some places only decreased by about 5,000 – 10,000 VND/kg. Co Nhi, a small pork trader at Go Vap market (HCMC), said that for more than a week now, she has been importing wholesale pork at a high, unchanged price, about 117,000 – 125,000 VND/kg. Therefore, the retail price of pork remains high: young ribs 180,000-190,000 VND/kg, bacon 155,000 – 160,000 VND/kg, thighs 110,000 – 120,000 VND/kg… “The wholesale price of pork has not decreased, so I still keep the selling price. Prices of ham, ribs, and bacon are still high, so customers buy less and consumption is slow. Accordingly, the amount of imported goods also decreased from 100 kg/day to only 40 kg/day. Only when the wholesale price of imported pork and snakehead meat decreases, the retail price will decrease accordingly, which can stimulate buyers to increase pork consumption again,” Ms. Nhi said. Mr. Nguyen Dang Phu – Deputy General Director of Vietnam Vissan Animal Industry Joint Stock Company, also assessed that the sales force for pork products is currently very slow, the company has to reduce the price of all kinds of young ribs and cutlets by 15%. , pork belly pulled ribs… to stimulate purchasing power. Meanwhile, in the same market, the price of pork varies from place to place. At Base Market 26A (Go Vap District, some stalls quote the price of young ribs VND 165,000/kg, bacon 120,000 VND/kg, thighs 100,000 VND/kg… But another stall is not far away, the seller quoted the price. higher than 20,000 – 25,000 VND/kg, specifically: 180,000 VND/kg baby ribs, 140,000 VND/kg bacon, 120,000 VND/kg thighs… As explained by the small traders, the retail price of pork depends on each market, both wholesale and retail markets. At the beginning of the session (3 – 4 am) pork prices will be high and prices will decrease at the end of the session (6 – 7 am). Some retail sellers will watch out for wholesale markets to import “dropped goods” at cheap prices and sell cheaply to push goods; and those who import goods early, the meat is delicious, the price is higher, so they are forced to retail at a high price. “This whole week, I imported thin pigs with a constant price of 105,000 VND/kg, not 78,000 – 85,000 VND/kg. Not to mention, the purchasing power is slow, there is still a lot of meat left in the afternoon so I have to sell it all cheaply to the shops; The price at the beginning of the session, at the end of the session, is not much profit,” explained Ms. Thuyen – selling pork at Cho Base 26A. As noted by us, meat prices at some slaughterhouses also remained high. For example, in Vissan, even after the reduction of pork, it is still quite high. Pork ribs 275,000 VND/kg reduced to 210,000 VND/kg, pork belly 205,000 VND/kg reduced to 175,000 VND/kg, thigh meat 166,000 VND/kg reduced to 145,000 VND/kg… Branded packaged pork… Meat Deli is even higher: thigh 152,000 VND/kg, pork belly 192,000 VND/kg, cutlet 124,000 VND/kg, pork leg boneless 160,000 VND/kg… (According to Women in HCMC)

Illustration. The actual way to make oyster sauce is quite simple. Scallops are peeled, washed with sand, drained for about 50 minutes. Next, pour the scallops into a clean bowl, remove the raw salt and finely pound it with the ratio of 10 cups of oysters: 2 cups of salt. Then mix well the scallops, salt, chili, galangal, put in a sealed plastic bottle or box. After being put in the box for 8-10 days, the fish sauce can be eaten. When the fish sauce is cooked, the body part floats to the top, the bottom part is opaque like fish sauce. The higher the scallops, the more fish sauce underneath, indicating that the fish has been kept for a long time and can be eaten immediately. When eating, we take out a sufficient amount of fish sauce, pound a little garlic, if it is salty, we can add a little sugar, MSG depending on the taste of the person eating. Shellfish sauce is best eaten with hot rice, or used to make a dipping sauce with pork belly and raw vegetables.

In many supermarkets, convenience stores, wholesale and retail markets, pork, beef and chicken of all kinds are defrosted for retail, in which, there are products that are discolored and metamorphosed right on the counters and stalls. See defrosted meat as cool, fresh meat In previous years, imported frozen meat was often preferred by collective kitchens (schools, factories, restaurants) because the price is much cheaper than fresh meat (hot meat) in the country and the price advantage when buying the whole box (per barrel) cartons are usually from 18-25kg). But now, imported meat is defrosted and retailed by stall owners in markets, shops and supermarkets. Bach Hoa Xanh convenience store on Vo Thanh Trang street, Tan Binh district, Ho Chi Minh City sells a lot of lean pork chips, pork ribs, and imported beef thighs. All meats here have been defrosted, chopped, and sold as cool or fresh meats. According to some customers, they buy this type of product because it is cheap and easy to process. Some customers don’t even know it’s defrosted meat. “All meat imported here is frozen meat that has been defrosted and has the same quality as chilled meats,” the store employee said. Many types of defrosted meat sold on the side of the wholesale market for agricultural products and food in Hoc Mon began to change color, but consumers still flocked to buy it due to the low price. At the Tops Market supermarket on Au Co Street, Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City, the amount of beef imported from the US and Australia is quite large, overwhelming domestic beef. Meat is divided into many types such as ribs, pork belly, shoulder loin, corn, neck core meat, lean thigh, lean shoulder, flower corn… All are cut into all sizes (1-2cm thick slices, thin slices, slices). square, wrap enoki mushrooms…) and then put in a plastic tray with a weight of 300-400g, which is very suitable for the retail needs of most customers. It is not easy to recognize that this is defrosted meat because the small stamps on the surface of the tray only show the words “American beef shoulder”, “Australian beef shoulder”… With thick cuts of meat, still fine. Ice crystals between the fibers are easier to see, but with thin slices, the ice crystals disappear, they look like cool meat. Meanwhile, at the counter, there is no information that this is defrosted meat. Some meats have a promotional label, which has a three-day shelf life. According to staff, this supermarket often has promotions and discounts directly on products; all promotional meat is fresh meat, not old meat like in other supermarkets (?). At Big C supermarket on Truong Chinh Street, Tan Phu District, in addition to imported beef and pork, there are also whole chickens, garlic thighs, and imported chicken thighs. All kinds of pork and beef are also chopped, blistered, and sold in the freezer. Particularly, the types of chicken are defrosted and sold as fresh chicken in the country. At this area, there is a sign warning consumers: “Product has been defrosted, please do not re-freeze”. At Lotte Mart supermarket, imported beef has been sliced, packed, and defrosted, but the packaging says “fresh beef”. Not selling all, re-freezing again If supermarkets and shops bring thawed meat to sell as cool meat, in markets, thawed meat is sold as fresh meat. Even at the end of the day, if not sold out, the stall owner will re-freeze the meat to sell the next day. At a beef stall in Ba Hoa market, Tan Binh district, at 6am, all beef tendons in the tray were still a bit cold, some pieces of meat were still mixed with ice crystals. According to our observations, during the lunch break, this unsold meat continued to be re-frozen and then displayed on a tray for further sale at 15:00. “In the morning, this beef tendon costs 150,000 VND / kg, but in the afternoon, the price is about 120,000-130,000 VND / kg. Meat that is not sold out must be re-frozen for preservation. It’s the same everywhere, not just here,” said the stall owner. In markets, it is not difficult to recognize frozen beef and buffalo meat that is thawed and sold as fresh meat. Imported goods are mainly packed in boxes according to categories such as thigh, loin, and neck meat, while most stalls also sell these types. These defrosted meats often darken very quickly when sold at room temperature, especially on hot days. Previously, the Veterinary Department of Ho Chi Minh City had exposed cases of defrosting meat and then dipping it into fresh beef blood to deceive consumers. Route 4 on the side of Hoc Mon wholesale market for agricultural products and food is the gathering place for dozens of frozen pork trucks. This is also a place to sell defrosted and re-frozen pork on a fairly large scale. Here, there are more than a dozen stainless steel tables set up next to refrigerated trucks for small traders to display meat for sale. Meat is exposed, uncovered, under the table only temporarily lined with cardboard or plastic bags. Meat juice from the table dripped to the ground, pooled in puddles, and smelled foul. These “stalls” sell all kinds of pork such as tenderloin, cutlet, young ribs, bacon, lean shoulder, thigh, ham, hoof, and offal. Because everything is frozen, when it’s on the table, it’s a bit cold. The prices of these meats are half as cheap as hot meat in the wholesale market of agricultural products and food in Hoc Mon: pork leg and pork belly at 55,000 VND/kg; Young ribs, pork heart cost 65,000 VND/kg. According to our observations, most customers come here to buy wholesale, at least 5kg or more, in and out continuously. Vendors also use their bare hands to pick up meat for customers, with only a few wearing gloves. A seller here said that the customers who come to buy are mainly people from restaurants and collective kitchens, they take a lot of money due to the cheap price, but the delicious meat is not inferior to fresh meat because it is preserved by refrigerated trucks. specialized. However, it was only around 7am, the sun was still not shining, the meat in some stalls had stopped freezing, started to turn a little pale, not pink, and lost its elasticity when pressed. This amount of meat is put in plastic bags by the owners of the stalls and brought to the refrigerated truck to be re-frozen, wait a few hours or the next day for sale. This happens from early morning to late evening. According to regulations, to sell frozen meat, small traders in the wholesale market of agricultural products and food in Hoc Mon must register; If you do not register, you will be severely fined. Meanwhile, the “field stalls” on the side of this market sell defrosted meat without knowing if it has an expiration date or is marinated with any preservatives. (According to Women in HCMC)

Pork bought, washed, boiled water, drop in, add a little salt to make the meat tastier, open a lid, skimming during the boiling process to make the water clear. Depending on the thickness of the meat, let it boil for a long or fast time. To know whether the meat is cooked or not, just poke it with a chopstick or a sharp knife. If the persimmon water in the meat still drips, cook for a few more minutes, or else it is done. Thin or thick meat, sliced ​​to large pieces or sliced ​​into a lead depends on who eat and how to eat it. If sliced, dab the lemon-chili fish sauce to eat rice. If you cut the lead, roll it with raw vegetables, vermicelli, sausages, eggs … to make spring rolls suitable for hot summer days. Many people like to eat boiled bacon or spring rolls with shrimp paste, shrimp paste, with a little extra star fruit, pineapple, banana … some fragrant Chinese aroma, herbs, and basil are … banquet. There are also people who like to eat boiled meat with soy sauce, add a few slices of chili and a plate of boiled water spinach, and the water to beat the crocodile vinegar wants to swoop on the tray right away. In general, it is still a traditional dish, the delicacy is always boring and must also return to simple rice dishes. A third of just pigs can also process many other delicacies. A typical example is the stewed meat dish. To make this dish, the housewives often choose to buy instant bacon or armpit meat, when sliced, it is usually about the size of a match. Before being put into the warehouse, the meat must be briefly roasted on the outside to soak the salt and fish sauce. Pour the meat and stock into the simmer until the meat is tender and the water gels. You can also store with coconut water if the sweetness is eaten. Northern people do not like the taste for the dish that is too sweet and can be stored with normal water. Braised pork is usually served with white rice or with white sticky rice. You can also stock with quail eggs or fried eggs. The standard summer meal has stewed meat, boiled water spinach, stewed gravy with chili and fish sauce to make it rich to dipping vegetables, a bowl of eggplant attached is “standard without needing”. Strange but familiar Also bacon, can be sliced, roasted. This dish is also one of the everyday rice dishes that are not boring every day. But if it is lean meat like tenderloin, you can simmer fish sauce, add a little pepper. Also minced lean meat, ketchup round balls, this dish almost all children love to eat, even going around, only minced meat in tomato sauce. Also minced meat, there is another way to cook (or not) to cook sour soup. Ingredients include tomatoes, slicing areca and stir-fry with a little fat and the top of non-fragrant flower onion, adding a bit of minced meat, stirring to infuse fish sauce, then add more water. Can cook with crocodile, can cook with sour ears, can also cook with green fruit, but the most delicious and delicious is the lean meat soup cooked with tea bar. Cooked meat, soft tomatoes, soft drinks, add salt to taste. Ladle into a bowl, sprinkle the chopped onion flowers, this summer dish just need to eat with a bowl of salt compress is enough delicious. Tenderloin is the best looking part of a pig, but few people like to eat the portion because it is too lean and difficult to cook. Because if not well, over heat, the meat will be dry and chewy. In addition to thinly slicing the rim with fish sauce and pepper, it can also be processed into a fried dish that also brings rice. The tenderloin cut into large size, gradually carefully marinated with fish sauce, main noodles, peppercorns, rolled over eggs and deep fried, put in a pan of oil and fried in gold, picked out and eaten hot. The meat is soft, crispy and fragrant. The tenderloin can also be a soft, white tenderloin, but there are also many people making rump meat rolls because of its sweetness. Pork ribs can be fried, sweet and sour sauce, grilled or cooked with sour soup … which are also delicious dishes, mainly on the regular tray of rice. Now there is an oil-free fryer, convenient enough sugar, the ribs only need to be marinated for about 4 hours to just enough soak, put in the oil-free fryer for about 20-25 minutes to have a delicious baking dish. Referring to pork, it is impossible to ignore the offal-related dishes. Heart and kidneys are stir-fried, the old heart is also stir-fried with green onion, sauteed with pickles … The feet are simmered, cooked as a civet, and the bones are used as ingredients for pho, noodle cooking …

This is a crispy roast meat vermicelli that I prepared myself with my own recipe, using an oil-free fryer. The main course of the meal is crispy roast meat served with cucumber, herbs and leaf vermicelli. The meat dish is more attractive thanks to the dipping sauce. I mix the dipping sauce with ingredients including 1-2 teaspoons of water, soy sauce, sugar, and lemon. The finished product from my recipe is the charred meat on the outside, the skin is crispy, the meat is still fat, the lean part doesn’t dry out. In order for the food to be delicious, the meat needs to be carefully selected. The bacon must only have the ratio of fat, lean evenly, the layer is about 1.5-2 cm thick. To make the food, I prepare about 1 kg of meat, a bowl of white salt. I cut a lot of fat and bring the fish stock. The rest have lean layers, fat evenly rotated. First, the meat is soaked in boiling water until it is ripe, then blot dry with a paper towel. I used a hairdryer to dry all over my skin for about 5 minutes, taking a sharp knife diagonally around the skin. Next, I covered the meat with aluminum foil, just exposing it. Note the foil is wrapped higher than the tare to spread salt on it. In the next step, the meat is placed in an oil-free fryer and sprinkled with salt to cover the skin. Salt has the effect of drying and exploding without making the meat salty. The oil-free fryer is set at 200 degrees C and cooked for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, the salt will dry again and form a block. I removed the salt from the skin. The skin is dry and roasted at this time. I replace the foil, put it around and under the meat, leave the cuticles, continue to fry at 200 degrees C for 40 minutes. My fryer has a capacity of 1,700 w. If the fryer capacity is higher, you should reduce the heat accordingly. Note, this second time should not open the pot during frying. After 40 minutes, the result is an attractive roast pork piece. The tender flesh is sweet, fragrant, the skin is crunchy, has a salty taste of salt, and an eye-catching dark yellow color.

Especially the meat has the smell of smoke. The smoke bursts into the nose like mustard. But it is not pungent, not harsh, not spicy, not as strong as mustard. Bacon also has high antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Especially low in calories, very beneficial for health. Meat while hanging upstairs in the kitchen. During the traditional Lunar New Year holidays, my hometown’s family members all by themselves slaughter pigs for Tet. Pig New Year is given special pampering, only give it about 50 kg, no more. The people below are called swine ounces. And the Tay people call it mu ot. The meat is divided to pack banh chung, make offerings to ancestors, cook a feast to treat relatives, brothers, and friends … The extra meat is filled with hot, full of stalks, full of rice (cuoi xoi is a household item made of woven bamboo of the Tay people). Just looking at it, my eyes felt full. The oldest descendants learn according to the elders, making the meat dishes hanging from the kitchen for smoking, used to store food gradually, it seems that is the main thing. The smoked pork steak is prepared in a traditional way. The sliced ​​meat was larger, cut twice as thick as the machiner’s hand, and left as long as possible. Each piece of meat weighs about 2 to 5 pounds. To make up for a long time it loses. After seasoning with white wine, mix with refined salt, especially crushed mountain ginger. Wait for the meat to infuse spices, it will turn from white, to yellow, then tie it up to the pole, hang under the kitchen attic. Just like that. It’s easy. Anyone can do it. Then string the meat to hang on the pole. The wrong dangling meat is like a loofah. Visitors come to visit the house, always remember to lower their heads, otherwise they will touch the flesh. In the early days of hanging, the meat gave off a fishy smell, stinking, sour, stubborn … but it was attractive to men. Especially men or alcohol. The stinging smell evokes irresistible cravings. The smoked kitchen guard is a great invention of our Tay fathers. The elders told them to do so, to prevent natural disasters, storms, flash floods … suddenly crashed. In case someone in the house suddenly came to visit and so on and so forth. The owner does not have to roll up his pants and hats to the market to buy food for guests. It means that a hundred things suddenly appear, so you need to anticipate and prepare. In the remote mountainous areas, the pigs suck, half a day away from the market. In the past, there was no refrigerator in the house, the transportation was very complicated, the traffic was not convenient like in the plain and in the city. People only need less than an hour to get enough. Even at midnight, there is also someone to serve to take home. Long-smoked steaks never worry about spoilage or rotting. This meat is very strange, there is how much water and tissue is automatically squeezed out by the fire smoke, leaving only genuine lean fat meat. The meat is solid. The bacon from my hometown is different from the birch bacon of a western lady. They still have to keep the meat and fish in the refrigerator there. That means that bacon is not much different from fresh meat. Probably people smoke through the speakers to take the smoke as an example. Or to get the smell of promete … Of course, its shelf life is only a few or four months is the train theater. Saying that, I do not mean to disparage Tay for not knowing how to do like the Tay. Because of their ecological environment, they are different from themselves. Their criteria for enjoying food are also different from mine. They differ completely from each other in every way, especially in terms of inhalation and intake. Smoked meat when it is processed into a dish. And the smoked meat of the Tay’s kitchen, just using a knife to cut each slice from the pole to bring it down. Wash thoroughly with water to wash the rice, scrub it clean and dust, then slice it thinly, fry it with fresh garlic. Food will smell like grilled grass, it has the effect of lowering fat in the liver and blood sugar, lowering blood pressure. If sauteed with lemongrass leaves, it can cure cough and phlegm. If stir-fried with star fruit will aid digestion, lose weight, increase eyesight, and supplement protein. If fried with bamboo shoots will prevent cancer, anti-inflammation, good for the heart … In short, the ancestors of the Tày – Nung people knew how to rationalize daily food with medicinal plants, planted in the home garden, available in the forest. It means you want everything you want. Want to scoop at any time. Not fiddly with prelude, time consuming. What else. Like that but dysentery. Therefore, the body of the Tay-Nung boy is like a statue of David coming out. All men are tall, strong, muscular, and have few diseases. Up to this twenty-first century, but still smoked kitchen guard pork is still hanging in the house. Although many people, many families have bought new curved fridges, which are Samsung, Sharp, Hitachi, Pansonic, LG … gleaming with rows of fresh and delicious food for the whole week and month without having to worry about carrying. market lane. But let me say honestly, food no matter how fresh it is, but keeping them in the refrigerator is like embalming the quintessence of heaven and earth. It is against the law of nature. Capturing the tastes of consumers, many private establishments in Cao Bang have automatically organized mass production of smoked kitchen guard pig market, which is of commercial nature, no longer follow small seasons. flat like before again. They spend money to build an oven completely. Every oven was as big as a fourth grade house. They smoked it with charcoal and bagasse which was produced locally. Tens of tons of meat per day are licensed for release. Bagasse smoke becomes “special treatment” energy used to smoke meat. And it seems that only the Tay – Nung people can bring into play this sweet and fragrant smoke effect. The modern smoked pork also seems to be somewhat “gentle”, “in uniform” than the seniors. They are no longer “harsh” rushing into the nose like the smoke of firewood stewed by her. The Cao Bang bacon that goes with any kind of rice is strangely juicy. Remember when eating, need to chew thoroughly. Chew like to go for a walk to watch fish. While chewing while listening to the root of my teeth, fresh water is pouring out. Sweet gradually sweetened to the ears. But the best is eaten with sticky sticky rice phjng (bee sticky rice). The oldest, delicious sticky sticky rice variety remains only at Ngoc Con, Chongqing. When the sticky rice was poured out of the mouth and put it in the bowl, the cloudy white smoke immediately jumped up, covering the meat smoke. Smoke fell into the smoke like a hundred years to meet again. They immediately shut their eyes shut together. They hugged each other panting. They twisted tangerines to bite each other. They clasped together like this time was their last love. Today’s smoked kitchen guard has become a specialty brand of Cao Bang cuisine. Smoked meat is carefully and carefully preserved by the establishment’s owner, packed with cellophane, and vacuum-aspirated. One can take it anywhere, give it to anyone, any season. Bacon is ready to serve all subjects, restaurants …
