街市THE WET MARKET
Pork scotch
梅頭
The shoulder-neck cut, marbled, tender and juicy: sliced for steamed pork with pickled mustard, cubed for sweet and sour pork, hand-chopped for a pork patty. Australian supermarkets and butchers sell it as pork scotch fillet, as steaks or as a whole piece.
Cautions: read first
- Cook pork and chicken right through: no pink at the centre and the juices run clear.
Preparation
Slice across the grain and marinate with starch.
