How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork ribs
- You should choose pork ribs that are light pink to red, press the meat with your hand and feel it is resilient, firm, and not mushy.
- Choose ribs with flat and small bones, as this type has more meat and less bone than overly large ribs.
- Avoid choosing ribs that have a foul smell, ribs that are pale green, slimy, and do not have elasticity when pressed.

How to choose delicious pickled mustard greens
- You should buy pickled mustard greens from reputable places to ensure the best quality of pickled vegetables.
- For pre-packaged types, check the expiration date, ensure the packaging is intact, and observe for any signs of mold or foam.
- Choose pickled mustard greens that are yellow to orange in color, as these are sufficiently sour for cooking. Greens that are still green indicate that the pickling process is incomplete, and they will taste spicy, bitter, and not delicious when eaten.
- Additionally, you can pickle mustard greens at home to ensure quality.

- Method 2: Alternatively, you can also use vinegar, lemon, or white wine to rub evenly on the ribs for about 5 minutes, then rinse clean.

To reduce the sourness and dirtiness of sour vegetables, soak the vegetables in water for about 30 – 60 minutes, then take them out, rinse thoroughly, and squeeze dry.
Use a knife to cut off the hard stem of the vegetable (if any), then continue to cut into bite-sized pieces about 1 – 2 finger lengths long.
Peel the garlic and onion, wash them clean, and then mince them finely. Wash the green onion thoroughly and cut it into sections.
