Cooking Tips
🥩 Pork
- Brine pork chops for 30 minutes in salt water to keep them juicy.
- Cook pork to 145°F (63°C) and rest for 3 minutes — no longer needs to be 160°F.
- Low-and-slow is the secret to tender pulled pork — 225°F for 8-10 hours.
Nutrition: Lean pork tenderloin has similar protein content to chicken breast with less fat.
Storage: Refrigerate up to 3-5 days for chops, 1-2 days for ground. Freeze for 4-6 months.
🫚 Ginger
- Use the edge of a spoon to peel ginger — it follows the contours perfectly.
- Freeze ginger and grate it frozen for the finest texture.
- Fresh ginger adds heat and brightness; dried ginger is warmer and more pungent.
Nutrition: Contains gingerol with anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits.
Storage: Refrigerate unpeeled for 3 weeks, or freeze for up to 6 months.
