Introduction: Streaky pork also known as pork belly, is a popular cut of meat obtained from the rib area of a pig. It consists of alternating layers of lean meat and fat. The fat in streaky pork melts easily when cooked, while the lean meat remains tender and juicy. It is commonly used in dishes such as braised streaky pork or roasted pork. The legendary premium streaky pork is said to have ten layers of fat and lean meat. When selecting high-quality streaky pork, it should feel slightly sticky when touched, free from blood spots, and have distinct red and white layers of fat and lean meat with vibrant colors. The best section of streaky pork is located near the hind leg, where the layers of fat and lean meat are evenly distributed, and the thickness of the entire cut is approximately one inch. Cooking streaky pork with the skin on helps create a thick and flavorful sauce while giving the meat a glossy appearance. Fresh streaky pork has a bright red or pink color. When touched, good-quality streaky pork should feel greasy but without any other unusual texture.
