A familiar childhood dish for people in the Mekong Delta, with all flavors of salty, sweet, and sour, perfect to eat with rice.
How to choose fresh eggs
- Fresh industrial chicken eggs usually have a dark brown shell, evenly colored, without cracks or black spots.
- You can touch the surface of the eggshell; if the surface is rough and slightly coarse, it is fresh chicken eggs, while a smooth surface indicates the eggs have been stored for a while.
- Hold the egg up to the light, or roll a newspaper and shine it under sunlight; you will see a small air chamber, the yolk is round, seems to be still and balanced in the middle of the egg, with a light orange or pink color, and the white is clear, which indicates it is a new egg.
- Additionally, you can hold the egg and shake it gently close to your ear to listen. If you hear a sound, it means the egg has been stored for a long time; the louder the sound (if the contents move), the more likely the egg is spoiled or is an egg that the hen is incubating.
