How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh grapefruit fish
- Choose fish with clear eyes, not cloudy and slightly bulging.
- Check if the fish has shiny scales and metallic silver color, not dull. Press to see if the fish has elasticity.
- Do not choose fish that are scratched or have easily torn skin as they are likely to be spoiled.
- It is best to choose grapefruit fish with pink-red gills, which should emit a characteristic sea fish smell and have no strange odor.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- Choose tomatoes with bright red skin, even color, without dark spots, and not scratched or damaged.
- Select tomatoes that have a light, characteristic fragrance, without any strange odor.
- Choose tomatoes with green stems that are firmly attached to the fruit.
How to choose fresh and delicious pineapples
- Color: you should choose fruits that have bright yellow color from the crown to the tip, there may be a few eyes that are slightly green but they still have a certain sweetness.
- Shape: Round, short pineapples will have more flesh compared to long-shaped ones.
- Pineapple eyes: Choose fruits with large, sparse eyes as this indicates that the pineapple is mature and naturally ripe, not artificially ripened.
- Fragrance: you can try smelling the end of the fruit, if it has a fragrant smell, you should buy it. Additionally, avoid fruits that have a slightly sour smell like fermentation, as those pineapples are overripe.
- Pineapple crown: The greener the crown, the fresher the pineapple. Overripe pineapples will have dry or brown crowns.
- Touch: Fresh, good pineapples are neither too hard nor too soft; when you press your finger into them, there should be no indent.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Choose carrots that are straight, with smooth skin, bright color, and feel firm, hard, and heavy in your hand, as these are the tasty ones with high vitamin content.
- Opt for those with a small core, as the smaller the core, the sweeter the carrot.
- Avoid selecting carrots with leaves or branches at the base, and those with thick, large shoulders, as these often have large cores and are not sweet, with fewer nutrients.
- Do not choose carrots that are misshapen, dark-colored, bruised, or have wilted leaves.
How to prepare Fish Noodle Soup

Prepare and marinate the fish
Clean the fish by removing the gills and entrails, cutting the fins, and then use a knife to scrape off the slime.
Then rinse the fish with diluted salt water, followed by rinsing with clean water, and continue to cut the fish into bite-sized pieces about the width of a finger.
Marinate the fish in a bowl with a bit of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, a little monosodium glutamate, some ground pepper, and sliced chili, mixing well to let the fish absorb the seasoning for about 10 minutes.
How to eliminate the fishy smell from the fish: To remove the fishy smell from the fish before cutting it into pieces, you can soak it in a solution of water and vinegar in an appropriate ratio for about 5 – 10 minutes, which will significantly eliminate the fishy smell and get rid of the slime, making the dish taste better.

Frying fish
Put another pot on the stove, add oil and a little minced garlic to sauté until fragrant, then add the fish to fry briefly until the fish is firm and slightly cooked on both sides.
