How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good quality dry noodles
- Currently, there are many types of noodles on the market, but to make your soup more delicious and authentic, you should choose yellow or white tubular noodles that are shaped like tubes, with flat round or diagonal ends.
- Additionally, when buying noodles, you should carefully consider the brand and usage instructions of the product. You can buy at reputable large stores and supermarkets like the TasteVN supermarket chain to ensure the quality of the noodles.
- For convenience and speed, you can also buy directly from e-commerce websites or purchase noodles on the website bachhoaxanh.com.
How to choose fresh and delicious pig trotter
- You should choose pig trotters that have a light pinkish-white color, good elasticity, fresh skin on the outside, intact hooves, and the hair is cleaned properly.
- Avoid choosing pig trotters with unusual colors such as green or purple, a smell of decay, and any fluid leaking from the inside, as these are parts of pig trotters from sick or long-dead pigs.
How to choose fresh and delicious straw mushrooms
- You should choose straw mushrooms that are black or gray in color, slightly round or cylindrical in shape, with intact caps and freshness.
- Choose straw mushrooms that give off a characteristic aroma when sniffed and feel firm to the touch, not soft or mushy.
- Avoid choosing straw mushrooms that show signs of spoilage such as wrinkled outer skin, an unpleasant smell, color changes, and possibly a slimy layer appearing on the outside.

How to prepare Pork Knuckle Noodles

Preliminary preparation and simmering the knuckle
When buying pork knuckle, you should ask the seller to cut it into small pieces for easy eating, then wash it thoroughly several times with water and let it drain.
To reduce the smell and remove dirt from the pork knuckle, put the knuckle into a pot, fill it with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, place it on the stove, and bring it to a vigorous boil. Then take the knuckle out and rinse it with cold water.
Next, put the blanched knuckle back into the pot, add enough water to cover it, then place it on the stove over high heat, cover it, and start simmering the knuckle for about 35 – 40 minutes until it is tender.
To keep the broth clear after cooking, remember to skim off the foam from the surface while simmering the knuckle.

Boil noodles
The noodles you bought will be rinsed briefly with water, soak the noodles in water for about 20 – 30 minutes. After the noodles turn a rather cloudy color, you will proceed to take the noodles out into a basket.
Put a pot on the stove, add about 1 – 1.5 liters of water to the pot and boil on high heat. When the water boils, add the noodles and cook for about 10 minutes; after 10 minutes, check if the noodles are soft, then turn off the heat, take the noodles out of the basket, rinse them a few times with clean water, and let them drain.
Note:- To prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pot, remember to stir continuously with chopsticks while boiling.
- Adding a little cooking oil while boiling the noodles also helps prevent them from sticking together.

Prepare other ingredients
Green onions and cilantro should have their roots and wilted leaves removed, then wash thoroughly and let them drain. You add the two ends of the green onions into a mortar along with 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper and pound the mixture until fine.
For the remaining green onions and cilantro, chop them finely for garnishing the dish.
Remove the stems from straw mushrooms, soak them in diluted salt water for 15 minutes, rinse with water, and then drain.
Shallots should be peeled, washed with water, drained, and then sliced thinly using a knife.

Cook the filling broth
After the pork hock has been simmering for 40 minutes, add the straw mushrooms, crushed black pepper, and sliced shallots.
Next, season the pot with some spices including: 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of seasoning powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate.
Then, use a ladle to stir the mixture well and simmer on medium heat for about 10 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked. Then taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary before turning off the heat.
