3. ○Skim off the scum. ○Make sure there is enough water to cover the meat. When the amount of water gets low, add more. ○Flip the meat half way through.
4. [Tips] Turn off the heat, and cover with a lid. Let it sit overnight so that the flavour is reabsorbed by the meat. When you don't have time, let it sit for 3~4 hours to cool.
