Boiled pork with spices
Description
For this dish, it's best to use meat with a layer of fat, as it will make the finished dish juicier inside, though a lean cut will work just fine as well. Besides pork, you can use beef, lamb, or regular chicken. The meat goes well with potato side dishes, raw or roasted vegetables. It can even be served at a festive table.
