Although it is a traditional, unique and convenient dish, sour meat is only popular in Lac Son area. That always makes me wonder why a dish with strong Muong ethnic identity is not widely spread. From that, my husband and I have nurtured the idea of ​​preserving the sour meat making profession to promote and introduce the product, and at the same time connect and expand the market outside the district. Up to now, my husband and I have had nearly 10 years of producing and processing sour meat to supply the market in the province and neighboring provinces."

The facility creates jobs for 9 local workers, with an income of 5 million VND/person/month. With a sharp mind, Tuan Linh sour meat production household has promoted and introduced sour meat products on social networking platforms Facebook, Zalo ... to expand the consumption market.

In Vu Binh commune, there are currently nearly 10 households producing sour meat, of which 2-3 are factory-scale production facilities that meet the prescribed standards. Locally produced sour meat products are sold at OCOP product stores and introduced to stores and agents in the district and neighboring provinces. With the combination of pork, corn bran and Doi seeds with garlic, the sour meat of the Muong Vang Lac Son people has a distinctive, rich flavor. The aroma of Doi seeds with a slightly spicy taste and essential oils makes Lac Son sour meat unique. To make sour meat that is both fragrant, sweet and rich, the processing steps are carefully done, from choosing clean ingredients, ensuring food safety to preliminary processing and marinating the meat. The meat is cut into small pieces, marinated with spices that are absorbed evenly into each piece of meat, using corn bran to create a fragrant, rich flavor for the product. Inheriting traditional methods and creativity, production and business households have created sour meat products with Doi seed flavor and sour meat with garlic flavor to meet consumer demand.

Comrade Bui Van Hien, Vice Chairman of Vu Binh Commune People's Committee said: "Sour meat produced by Vu Binh Commune businesses is welcomed by the market as one of the specialties of Muong Vang countryside. In the coming time, the local Party Committee and government will continue to pay attention and support businesses to develop and expand production scale.
