4. Handy Tips for Lemongrass-Infused Grilled Pork

This dish is enhanced with pork belly, rich and lean, or a mix of lean pork shoulder. Using tenderloin may result in dryness and a decrease in flavor.

To make lemongrass-infused minced meat, simply replace sliced meat with ground or finely chopped meat. Follow the remaining steps similar to the above recipe.

To select a fresh and delicious piece of meat, observe its color and feel its elasticity. Fresh meat has a bright pink color, no darkening, no discoloration, and no unusual odor. Press it with your finger to feel its elasticity.

Additionally, opt for mature galangal for a more aromatic and distinctive flavor compared to young galangal.
