How to choose fresh pork
- You should choose pieces that are pink-red, with a dry surface and no unusual black spots.
- At the same time, you can also check the freshness of the meat by pressing it with your hand; if the meat bounces back to its original shape after you remove your finger, it is fresh and should be purchased.
- Especially, for this dish, to make the filling tastier, you should choose lean meat but still have some fat so that the filling, when completed, is softer, more fragrant, and richer.
How to choose delicious dried shiitake mushrooms
- You should choose whole mushrooms that are not broken or cracked.
- Preferably select mushrooms with a light brown cap, even color, and a surface that is not moldy or showing signs of spoilage.
- At the same time, you should smell them to check if there is a moldy odor; if there is, you should definitely not buy them.
How to choose delicious dried wood ear mushrooms
- You should choose wood ear mushrooms that have large and thick ears.
- Observe the base of the mushroom, and prioritize those with fewer small mushrooms growing from the base.
- Delicious wood ear mushrooms are those that have an amber top, shiny, while the underside is slightly rough and has a coffee milk color.

How to choose delicious fresh bamboo shoots
Based on color
- You should buy bamboo shoots that are light yellow and slightly darkened, which indicates they are fresh or have been soaked in salt water.
- Avoid buying bamboo shoots that are pale white or dark yellow as these are soaked in chemicals.
Based on the crispiness of bamboo shoots
- You should choose bamboo shoots that are still a bit chewy and not easily broken when snapped.
- Chemically soaked bamboo shoots are often crispy and break easily into pieces.
Based on shine
- Chemically soaked bamboo shoots usually have a shiny appearance, look attractive, and never show signs of mold.
- In contrast, natural bamboo shoots without chemical soaking vary in size, lack shine, and do not look appealing.
How to process fresh bamboo shoots to remove bitterness and reduce toxicity
- When you buy fresh bamboo shoots, peel off the outer layers, boil them in hot water several times, and rinse with clean water each time. When you find the bamboo shoots soft and the bitterness reduced, they can be used for cooking.
- You can also soak bamboo shoots in rice washing water or clear lime water.
