How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork
- For whole pieces of pork, you should first pay attention to the color. The color of good pork is bright pink, not too red and not too pale. Pork that is pale, has a greenish tint, and has a foul smell is spoiled, so you should not choose this type of meat.
- Pork that is firm and has high elasticity is good meat. You can test it by pressing your finger into the meat; if it bounces back immediately, is not slimy, and does not leak water or juice, it is good.
- You should choose a cut that has both lean meat and fat to ensure your dish is not dry or overly greasy.
- You can buy pork to grind at home using a meat grinder or purchase pre-ground meat as mentioned in the article!
- For pre-ground pork, you should buy it from reputable stores or supermarkets, and when purchasing, make sure the meat is stored in the refrigerator and the packaging is intact to ensure quality.

How to choose quality soft tofu
- You should choose soft tofu that comes in carefully sealed and intact packaging, without any tears or leaks.
- When buying soft tofu, pay attention to the expiration date printed on the product packaging to avoid buying expired tofu.
- Additionally, you can also make soft tofu at home to ensure quality using the recipe shared by TasteVN.

How to choose fresh chicken eggs
- Choose eggs with a uniform color on the shell, without cracks or dark spots.
- When touching the eggshell, it should feel slightly rough and textured, indicating fresh eggs.
- When shining a light through the egg, if you see a small air cell and the yolk is round and stable without much movement, it is a fresh egg.
- Avoid buying eggs with a pale shell and many dark spots.
- Bring the egg close to your ear and shake it gently; if it makes a louder noise, it indicates the egg has been stored longer.

Prepare the ingredients
Cut the soft tofu into bite-sized cubes, about the thickness of one finger joint.
Peel the shallots, wash them, and slice them thinly. Cut the roots off the cilantro, wash it, and then chop it up!
-
Marinate and stir-fry the meat
You add ground pork into a bowl, add 1 spoon of seasoning powder, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well and marinate for about 15 minutes for the meat to absorb the spices.
You heat a pot, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, and then add 1 sliced shallot to fry until fragrant over medium heat.
When the shallots are golden and fragrant, you add the ground meat, stir well for about 2 minutes until the meat is crumbly. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of ground chili, and 1 teaspoon of ground pepper. Continue to stir-fry for about 3 more minutes until the meat is cooked and evenly seasoned.

Making tofu with minced meat sauce
You put the cut tofu into the pot. Gently stir to avoid breaking the tofu. Cook on the stove for about 5 – 7 minutes until the meat sauce reduces and the tofu absorbs the flavors.
Next, crack 1 egg into the pot, keep the heat medium and cover for about 2 minutes. When the egg white is just cooked, use chopsticks to gently stir so the egg blends with the dish.
Finally, you can adjust the seasoning to suit your family’s taste, then turn off the heat, serve on a plate and garnish with a little cilantro to complete the dish.

The hot tofu with minced meat sauce served with white rice is unbeatable. The minced meat is seasoned just right, the soft and fatty tofu, all combined with a bit of spiciness from pepper and ground chili, is incredibly appetizing.
