How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- You should choose pork that has a bright pink color, no strange smell, with clear white fat; avoid pork that is pale and has a foul odor.
- You can press the meat with your hand; if you observe that the meat bounces back immediately, does not leave a dent, is dry, and does not stick to your hand, it indicates that this is good meat.
- Good pork should have even, firm muscle fibers and should not ooze liquid or be slimy.
- When buying meat, you should ask the seller to cut it along the grain and avoid choosing meat that has small white cysts interspersed between the muscle fibers, as this may indicate that the meat has been infected with larvae, which could negatively affect your health when consumed.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to buy good wood ear mushrooms (mộc nhĩ)
- Choose large ears, thick caps, and stems with few small ear mushrooms.
- The top of the mushroom should have a dark amber color, slightly shiny, while the underside should have a coffee milk color; check carefully for any white mold.
- Avoid choosing black wood ear mushrooms as they are less crunchy, and after soaking in warm water, they can easily become mushy and soft.
How to buy fresh shrimp
- When choosing shrimp, you should select those that are fresh with a translucent shell and have a slight smell of the sea, not a fishy odor. Do not buy shrimp that have dark spots or uneven colors.
- Fresh shrimp typically have their tails curled together. If the shrimp’s tail is spread out, it may have been injected with chemicals or water to make it look plump.

How to fold beautiful, firm wontons that do not burst
- When folding wontons, you should not take all the wonton wrappers out to expose them to the air, as the wontons will dry out and be difficult to fold. You should take out one piece at a time from the plastic wrap and only take out as much as you need to fold at that moment.
- You need to apply a little water to dissolve the flour coating on the wonton wrappers so that they do not stick together when stored.
- Use water or beaten egg to create stickiness and connect the edges of the dough together so that the filling does not spill out during cooking.
