The remaining shallots and onions should be peeled and sliced thinly. To reduce the pungency and make the onions crispier and sweeter, soak them in diluted sugar water for about 15 minutes.
Remove the stems from the chili peppers and chop them finely. Peel and mince the garlic. Peel the remaining ginger and slice it into thin strips.
Squeeze the lemon to extract its juice. The herbs for the salad include basil, Vietnamese balm, and cilantro; pick the leaves, wash them thoroughly, and let them drain.

Cut and mix the beef tendon salad
After boiling the beef tendon until cooked, cut it into small pieces for easy eating.
Put the cut beef tendon into a large bowl, add 2 teaspoons of the prepared salad dressing, then mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes for the beef tendon to absorb the fish sauce.
Next, add shallots, onions, Vietnamese mint, basil, cilantro, shredded ginger, fried onions, and roasted sesame seeds into the bowl. Continue to add the remaining salad dressing and mix thoroughly.
Taste and adjust as needed, plate the salad and invite everyone to enjoy!
