Good tip:
– Fresh pork meat has a light pink color, no dark green or viscous, the appearance is dry. The fat is medium hard and has no strange color. When pressed, the meat feels good elasticity.
– In addition, you should choose lean cuts of meat butt or bacon because the meat will be softer and sweeter when minced.
– Banana leaves you can buy at the market or buy prepackaged banana leaves at supermarkets or grocery stores.
