How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh raw pork sausage
- Choose fresh raw pork sausage that is white or bright pink, with no strange odors.
- If selecting pre-packaged products, you should carefully check the expiration date and production location to ensure the source.
- Inside the packaging, the raw pork sausage should not be moldy, have no bruises or unusual leaking.
- Additionally, to ensure food safety for your family, you can make raw pork sausage at home using a simple recipe from TasteVN.
How to choose fresh beef shank
- Choose meat that is bright red, with light yellow fat, and the meat fibers should be soft, small, and not too fine.
- Use your hand to press; if the meat has good elasticity and no slimy residue, it’s good.
- Female beef is usually tastier than male beef; if you can get veal, that’s even better.
- Do not choose meat that is pale green, showing white round spots between the meat fibers, or has strange odors.
- Additionally, if the meat is dark red, with dark yellow fat, mushy texture, and feels sticky to the touch, it should not be purchased.

How to prepare Beef Noodle Soup with Crab Meat
-
Grill the ingredients
Take 1 onion and ginger, cut them in half, and grill all sides with shallots until fragrant.
-
Cook the beef broth
Add 3 liters of filtered water into the pressure cooker along with the grilled onion, ginger, shallots, lemongrass, and beef brisket.
Season with 1/2 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 1 tablespoon of rock sugar, stir well, and cook for 25 minutes in the “Meat Stew” mode.
-
Mix the crab cake
Add the crab meat and the raw sausage into a bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of fried onions, 1 teaspoon of fried garlic, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1 tablespoon of annatto oil, mix and knead well.
Then place the mixture in the fridge for 10 minutes then take it out and knead it once more.
Tip: Putting the mixture in the fridge will help the crab cake become firmer and tastier.

Prepare the accompanying vegetables
Bean sprouts, shredded banana, shredded water spinach, Vietnamese coriander, aromatic herbs, and cilantro should be washed clean and drained.
The remaining onion should be peeled, washed clean, and sliced thinly. To reduce the pungent smell of the onion, soak it in cold water with a little cilantro for about 5 minutes.

Cook the crab meat
After 25 minutes, remove the beef brisket from the pressure cooker, use a sieve to strain the broth and lemongrass, then put it back in the pot and heat it on high.
When the water boils, shape the mixed crab meat into bite-sized balls and add them to the pot, then lower the heat to a simmer.
When the crab meat floats on the surface, add 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of rock sugar, 2 tablespoons of annatto oil, and 1 teaspoon of shrimp paste.
Simmer until the broth boils again, then add chopped green onions, adjust the seasoning to taste, and turn off the heat.

Beef brisket after cooling is cut into bite-sized pieces.
