How to choose good ingredients
How to choose chewy vermicelli
- It is best to choose vermicelli that is light gray in color as this type has not been bleached. In contrast, vermicelli that is white or yellow has been bleached or dyed, which can affect health.
- Good vermicelli is straight, uniform in thickness. Avoid buying vermicelli that is too broken.
- Additionally, if you smell anything unusual, such as a strong chemical odor, you should not buy it.
- If you buy pre-packaged vermicelli, choose brands with a clear reputation to know the origin and importantly, remember to check the production date and expiration date of the product.
How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- You should prioritize choosing pieces of beef that have a bright red color with white marbling and the fat should be bright yellow.
- If you press lightly on the piece of beef with your hand, it should have good firmness and elasticity, not feel sticky, and should not have any unpleasant or abnormal odors.
- Additionally, you should also choose soft, small pieces of beef that do not look too smooth. In fact, if you can find veal, it will be even better, or you should opt for heifer beef as it is tastier than bull beef.
- Conversely, you should avoid buying pieces of beef that have a pale green or dark red color, dark yellow fat, white spots on the meat, and feel mushy and slimy when touched.
How to safely buy beef blood
- You can choose to buy pre-cooked blood or buy pig blood to freeze at home.
- If buying at traditional markets, you should pay attention to go early to select the freshest pig blood.
- Make sure to buy from familiar, reputable stalls to ensure quality.
Where to buy ingredients?

How to prepare Beef Noodle Soup

Prepare the beef blood and beef
The beef blood you buy should be rinsed with diluted salt water and then washed thoroughly with clean water. Next, cut the beef blood into thin slices that are easy to eat. The thickness depends on your family’s preference.
Wash the beef with water, then slice it very thinly. Remember to cut the meat perpendicular to the grain to prevent the beef from becoming tough when cooked.
Peel the garlic, crush it, and then mince it finely. Wash the green onions and chop them into small pieces.
How to prepare beef:- Fresh hot beef should be rinsed briefly with water and then cut immediately to avoid toughening the meat’s structure.
- Especially for dishes with rare beef, the more thoroughly the meat is soaked in salt, the tougher it will become.
-
Marinate the beef
After slicing the beef thinly, place the beef into a bowl. Next, add the minced garlic and a little chopped green onion into the bowl. Add 3 spoons of cooking oil, a little ground pepper, and 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder.
Mix well to ensure the beef absorbs the spices evenly. Marinate the beef for about 20 minutes for it to soften and absorb the flavors.
-
Cook the broth
Add the beef blood into a pot, pour in enough water to cover the blood by about 2 bowls. Then, place the pot on the stove to bring it to a boil.
When the water boils, add 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder and a little monosodium glutamate along with the chopped green onion. Season to taste, then turn off the heat.
Put another pot of water on the stove, and when the water boils, briefly blanch the pieces for about 1 minute. Remove the pieces and place them into a bowl.
Add the marinated beef on top of the bowl, then ladle the hot beef blood broth over to just cook the beef slightly. Add green onion and a bit of ground pepper for fragrance. Wait about 2 minutes for the noodles to soften and the beef to cook, then you can serve it.
