How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Ingredients
How to choose fresh green mustard
- Choose stalks that are bright green, feel firm in hand, and snap easily when bent.
- Opt for fresh stalks that are not infested and have no white film on the underside of the leaves.
- You should buy green mustard at supermarkets or TasteVN branches to ensure the vegetables are always fresh and clean.
- Avoid choosing wilted, yellowing stalks with holes from pests on the stems and leaves. Especially do not choose mustard that has bolted, as it becomes old and very pungent.
How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- You should choose pieces of meat that have good elasticity, where pressing with your hand does not leave a dent on the surface.
- Delicious meat is usually bright pink, not too red or too pale.
- Avoid buying pieces of meat that are pale, have a greenish tint, and have a foul smell.
- Additionally, you should not buy pieces of pork that have patches shaped like lentils (lentil-shaped) that run parallel to the grain of the meat or small white spots, as these indicate that the meat is infected with worms and larvae.

Prepare and chop the pork
To reduce the smell of pork, you can rub a tablespoon of salt onto the piece of meat for about 5 – 7 minutes and then rinse it under clean water 2 – 3 times. After that, drain it.
Next, place the meat on a cutting board, cut it into small pieces, and mince it finely.
Tips to eliminate the smell of pork
- Smash and finely chop a shallot and mix it with about 30ml of white wine, then massage the piece of pork with it. After 10 minutes, rinse it thoroughly with water 2 – 3 times.
- You can rub the piece of meat with the juice of one lemon for about 7 – 10 minutes and then rinse it with clean water.
- During the marinating process, you should use plenty of onion and garlic so that the meat, after cooking, not only loses its characteristic smell but also becomes fragrant.
