How to choose good pork ribs
- Fresh pork ribs have a light pink color, feel elastic when pressed, and have no foul odor.
- Choose ribs with small and flat bones. This type of rib has more meat and less bone compared to larger, round ribs.
- Choose ribs with a lot of lean meat and little or no fat. Having some cartilage will make your dish tastier.

How to Prepare Bamboo Shoot Noodle with Ribs
-
Prepare the Ribs
Wash the ribs with diluted salt water and then cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 2 – 3 finger joints.
Blanch the ribs in boiling water, then rinse thoroughly and let them drain.
Tip:
- Blanching the ribs in boiling water will help clean the ribs, reduce the smell, and make the broth clearer.
- Before blanching the ribs, you should wash them very clean to remove any dirt; otherwise, when blanched, the dirt will stick tightly to the ribs, making them hard to clean.
-
Simmer the Ribs
Put 1 liter of water into the pressure cooker, then add the prepared ribs and simmer for 20 minutes.
-
Prepare Fresh Bamboo Shoots
Peel off the hard outer skin of the bamboo shoots and then shred them finely.
Slice the bamboo shoots into bite-sized pieces and soak them in diluted salt water. Soak for about 1 hour, then put the bamboo shoots into a pot and boil until cooked, then remove and let them drain.
Wash the shallots and let them drain, then slice them thinly.
-
Frying onions and stir-frying bamboo shoots
Add cooking oil to the pan and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, quickly add the cornstarch to the bowl containing 25 grams of shallots, then mix well and add to the pan to fry until fragrant and golden, then remove the fried shallots.
In the same pan where you fried the shallots, add the remaining 5 grams of shallots and fry until fragrant and golden, then add the bamboo shoots to stir-fry.
Next, add 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/3 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/3 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, then stir well and stir-fry the bamboo shoots for about 5 minutes until they are firm, then turn off the heat.
-
Cooking the broth
When the pot of rib broth has simmered for 20 minutes and starts to boil, add the stir-fried bamboo shoots and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Gradually season with 2 teaspoons of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Then skim off the foam and wait for the broth to boil before turning off the heat.

How to choose fresh pork
- You should choose pieces that have a pink-red color, a dry surface, and do not have any unusual dark spots.
- At the same time, you can also check the freshness of the meat by pressing with your hand; if, when you pull your finger out, the meat bounces back to its original state, then this piece of meat is still fresh and should be purchased.
- Especially for this dish, to make the pork balls tastier, you should choose pieces of meat that are lean but still have some fat so that the final product is soft, fragrant, and richer.
How to choose good dried shiitake mushrooms
- You should choose whole mushrooms that are not broken or damaged.
- Preferably select mushrooms with bright brown caps, even color, and a surface that is not moldy or has any signs of fungus.
- At the same time, you should smell them to check if they have a moldy odor; if they do, you definitely should not buy them.
How to choose good dried wood ear mushrooms
- Choose wood ear mushrooms with large and thick ears.
- Observe the mushroom stems, preferably select those with fewer small mushrooms growing at the base.
- Good wood ear mushrooms have a bright amber top and a slightly rough underside that is coffee-colored.

Based on the crunchiness of the bamboo shoots
- You should choose bamboo shoots that are slightly chewy and do not break easily when bent.
