Recipe Disaster?
Chef's Notes
Do not skip the baking soda! It sounds like a strange alchemy, but it acts as a tenderizing miracle that breaks down tough pork fibers into absolute velvet.
Pro Tip
When searing, make sure your cast-iron skillet is genuinely screaming hot. If it is not smoking slightly before the pork touches it, you will miss out on that magnificent caramelized crust.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Leaving the lemongrass chunks on the pork when it hits the pan will burn instantly into bitter charcoal, turning your majestic dinner into an acrid smokehouse disaster.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I told the King this pork was tenderized by science, and he immediately ordered me to turn his lead crown into gold using the same 'alchemist' baking soda.
The Culinary Science
Baking soda creates an alkaline environment on the surface of the meat, which prevents the proteins from bonding too tightly and squeezing out moisture during cooking, keeping your pork remarkably juicy.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
