How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Pork
- First, you must choose fresh meat. The color of good meat is bright pink, not too red and not too pale.
- Meat that is pale, has a greenish tint, and smells foul is spoiled, and 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 drip water or fluids, then it is good.

How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- If buying frozen shrimp, you should choose shrimp with all parts intact, feeling firm and naturally elastic when touched (to avoid buying shrimp that has been injected with gelatin to increase weight) and especially should not have a fishy or rotten smell.
- Choose live shrimp to ensure freshness, with shiny shells, looking strong and healthy; when squeezed, they should have some elasticity, and the shells should not be too soft.

How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Choose Good Tofu
- Choose tofu pieces that are off-white in color as they are good tofu. Avoid buying pieces that are yellowish as they contain gypsum.
- The tofu should be soft and smooth, feeling light when held. If it feels heavy, firm, a bit hard, and has a square shape, do not buy it.
- Pure tofu will have the characteristic aroma of soybeans, while tofu containing gypsum will have no smell or a faint lime scent.
- You should purchase tofu from reputable establishments to ensure quality or you can make it at home according to your own recipe.
How to Choose Good Fried Pork Cake
- You can buy pork cake at food stores or the network of TasteVN supermarkets nationwide.
- Additionally, you can opt to make pork cake at home according to your own method or with the recipe guide from TasteVN.
