How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh kale
- You should choose kale that is dark green, has thick leaves, and feels smooth and silky to the touch.
- You should select leaves that are of moderate size, with stems that are not too tough because those are young leaves, which will taste sweet when eaten.
- Avoid choosing leaves that are yellowing, wilted, or have many deep marks, as they will not taste good.
How to choose good pork
- When buying pork, first you need to observe the color of the meat. Fresh pork will have a light pink or light red color, while the fat will have a slightly off-white color. You should not buy meat that is too pale or too dark, with a shiny surface.
- You should choose meat that has a distinct structure of meat and fat, but they must stick together, and when you touch it, it feels hard to separate.
- You can also check the elasticity of the meat by pressing your hand against it. If it is good meat, when you pull your hand away, the meat will return to its original shape, and there will be no indentation on the surface. Absolutely do not buy if you feel the meat is mushy and has a slimy fluid coming out.
- In addition, when you buy meat, you can ask the seller to grind it for you or you can grind it at home using a meat grinder to ensure hygiene.
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Fresh tomatoes will have an intact skin, bright red, firm, evenly colored, and not scratched.
- You should choose tomatoes that have a light fragrance, with fresh green stems that are firmly attached to the fruit, and golden seeds.
- Avoid buying tomatoes with stems that have come off the body, green seeds, and no fragrance, as these are low-quality tomatoes that will not taste good when cooked.
How to prepare Kale Soup
-
Prepare the ingredients
Wash the tomatoes and cut them into wedges. Clean the green onions, chop the white part finely, and cut the green leaves into small pieces.
Wash the kale and cut it into pieces about the length of a finger. Peel the shallots, rinse them briefly with water, and slice them thinly.
-
Marinate the meat
First, prepare a bowl, then crack 2 eggs into the bowl and whisk them well. Next, add 100 grams of minced pork, the chopped green onion, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of seasoning into the bowl.
Mix well so that the meat, eggs, and spices are blended together, which will make the soup richer when cooked.
Tip: Adding the meat to the eggs will help make the meat firmer!
-
Create meat froth
You put a pot on the stove and add about 200ml of water, then add the meat and cook on high heat.
When you see the water just boiling, lower the heat to allow the broth to simmer and create a froth on the surface. Next, you remove the froth from the pot and set it aside on a plate, keeping this broth to cook the soup!
-
Sauté tomatoes
You place a pan on the stove and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, add thinly sliced shallots and sauté until fragrant, then add the tomatoes and white beans, and stir-fry on high heat for about 5 minutes.
-
Cooking the soup
You add the sautéed tomatoes into the pot of water from earlier, seasoning with a mixture of spices including: 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of seasoning powder.
Cook the soup over high heat until it boils, then add the kale and cook for an additional 30 seconds before turning off the heat.
Finally, serve the soup in a bowl, place the meat on top, and add a bit of green onion to finish.
