How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good beef meatballs
- Good beef meatballs are made from fresh meat right after slaughter, the meatballs will have a bright color, no dark spots, a fragrant smell characteristic of beef, and have a chewy and elastic texture when squeezed.
- Do not choose meatballs that have unusual colors, dark tones, an unpleasant strange smell, and feel too dry and hard when squeezed.
- Additionally, you can prepare chewy and delicious beef meatballs safely at home with TasteVN’s recipe for beef meatballs!
How to choose delicious and quality fresh sausage (gio song)
- You should choose pre-made fresh sausage that is well-packaged, has a brand name, and a specific production address on the packaging.
- Delicious quality fresh sausage usually does not have an unusual smell, is not leaking, and the packaging shows no signs of being open, erased, or patched.
- You should avoid buying fresh sausage that is not packaged and is often sold “open-air” at markets. Because insects and dirt can stick to it, eating it will not ensure health.
- Additionally, you can also make fresh sausage at home with the method that TasteVN shares below to ensure safety!
How to choose fresh pork bones
- Choose pork bones that have a natural reddish-pink color; when you press on the meat with your hand, it should feel firm, indicating good quality pork bones.
- Choose pork bones of moderate size; if they are too small, they are usually from young pigs, have little meat, and do not provide sweetness when cooked.
- Do not buy pork bones that are purple or have an unusual smell or discharge, as these are signs that the pork bones have been stored for too long and are no longer fresh.

Marinate the pork bones
Put the pork bones and white radish into a large bowl, marinate with 3 minced shallots, and add 1 teaspoon of each seasoning, including: salt, pepper, sugar, monosodium glutamate, and seasoning powder.
Use chopsticks to mix well and marinate for about 15 – 20 minutes for the pork bones to absorb the seasonings.
