How to choose fresh, delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh squid
- To buy fresh squid, you should observe the color of the squid. Choose squid that has a shiny color, with the brown part being dark brown and the body being opaque white like milk.
- Choose squid that feels firm and elastic when touched.
- For fresh squid, the head and tentacles should be tightly attached to each other. Avoid choosing squid that has soft and easily separable parts.
How to choose fresh and delicious bean sprouts
- When buying bean sprouts, you should choose the ones that are less thick and uneven because those with thick and uniform stems may have been soaked in chemicals.
- Delicious and high-quality bean sprouts will have a curved shape, not shiny, as they are naturally grown.
- You should not choose abnormally long bean sprouts because they may have been treated with drugs or chemicals.
- To ensure safety and peace of mind when using, you can grow clean bean sprouts at home yourself with the detailed and simple steps from TasteVN.

Preparation and Marinating Squid
To eliminate the fishy smell of the squid, clean the internal organs, remove the eyes and spine; wash thoroughly, then soak and massage the squid with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of vinegar and diluted salt water for about 10 minutes, then rinse twice with clean water.
After that, drain and cut into small pieces about 1 – 1.5 finger lengths and marinate the squid with 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce for 1 hour to let the squid absorb the flavors.
How to Clean Squid Without Fishy Smell- First, hold the body of the squid with one hand, and grasp the head with the other hand, then gently pull up and carefully peel off the squid’s ink sac.
- Next, use a knife to cut off the squid’s eyes and squeeze out the beak.
- Then, use a sharp knife to make a light cut along the head of the squid’s body and peel off the skin from the body.
- Finally, just clean the intestines and head of the squid and rinse thoroughly with water.
