How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh pork
- Fresh pork has bright pink lean meat, the fat is opaque white and translucent, the meat is dry, firm, and elastic when pressed.
- It is best to buy pork with the meat and fat separated but tightly bound together, and when touched, they should be hard to separate.
- Avoid buying pieces of meat that look dull, are leaking water, have a foul smell, or are bruised, as these should not be purchased.
How to choose fresh and delicious bean sprouts
- When buying bean sprouts, choose those with slender, long stems, long roots, and an off-white color; these are naturally grown sprouts without stimulants, which will be crispier and more flavorful when cooked.
- Bean sprouts that have been soaked in chemicals usually have abnormally large sizes, shiny colors, are crispy, and easy to break.
- Additionally, you can grow bean sprouts at home, which is simple and safe, following the guidance from TasteVN.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- Ripe tomatoes should have a bright red color, be juicy, shiny, and evenly colored. The green stem still fresh and firmly attached to the fruit indicates that the tomatoes have just been harvested and are fresh.
- Tree-ripened tomatoes have a faint characteristic aroma; when cut in half, the seeds should be yellow, not green.
- Avoid buying soft, mushy tomatoes with wrinkled skin, as these are overripe or have been stored for too long and are not delicious.

Stir-fry the pork with bean sprouts
Place a pan on the stove, turn on high heat, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, then add the remaining minced garlic to sauté until fragrant, then add the pork and stir until it is firm.
Next, add the tomatoes to stir-fry with the meat, when the tomatoes are soft, add the bean sprouts, season with 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and stir quickly until the seasonings dissolve and the bean sprouts are just cooked. At this point, you can adjust the seasoning to your taste, add the green onions, and stir a few more times, then turn off the stove.
Serve the stir-fried bean sprouts with pork on a plate, sprinkle a little ground pepper on top, and it is ready to enjoy.
