The family reunion party to welcome the New Year 2026 will be indispensable with sumptuous and new dishes. Besides traditional dishes, housewives can refer to the rich, fatty and absolutely crispy grilled pork udder dish.
However, housewives should also note a few tips in preliminary processing and marinating to help the dish be delicious and flavorful.
To make five-spice grilled pork udders, housewives need to prepare ingredients including 1kg of fresh pork udders; 2 packets of five-spice; lemongrass, garlic, shallots, oyster sauce, honey, satay...
Housewives should prioritize choosing to buy pork udders that are light pink, with the same layer of fat and meat... Delicious udders when picked up must be firm, have good elasticity and do not ooze slime. Avoid buying abnormal white udders, which is a sign that the meat does not ensure food safety and hygiene.
After buying it, housewives need to apply a thorough preliminary processing process to completely eliminate the odor. Use seed salt and lemon juice to rub vigorously on each surface of the pig udder for about 5 minutes and then wash it off to remove dirt.
Next, blanch briefly in boiling water and add a few slices of ginger and salt. This method will help the braid become firmer. After blanching, take it out and wash it immediately with cold water and slice the braid about 0.5 - 0.7cm thick.
The marinade sauce recipe needs to mix the five-spice pack with 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey to create an attractive yellow color, add garlic, minced lemongrass and a little satay according to family taste. In particular, don't forget to add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the mixture, it will help the pork udder when grilled not dry but still retain its tenderness and sweetness.
The time to marinate pig udders should be from 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator compartment so that the spices absorb into each meat fiber.
When grilling, use an oil-free frying pan with a temperature of 180 degrees C and bake for 15 minutes. Next, flip the lid, add the remaining sauce and continue to bake for about 5-7 minutes until the lid turns yellow and crimped edges.
The standard five-spice grilled pork udder needs to have an eye-catching golden brown color and a characteristic aroma. When enjoying, you will feel the crunchyness, the sweet and fatty taste of the udder blended with the nutty taste of satay.
This dish should be rolled with lettuce, dipped in sweet tamarind sauce or sugar-filled chao to add a rich flavor.
