How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good beef meatballs
- To buy good chewy beef meatballs, you should choose those with clear packaging.
- When buying beef meatballs, observe that they are not slimy inside and do not have dark spots.
- Avoid buying beef meatballs with unclear origin.
You can buy pre-made beef meatballs at Bách Hóa XANH stores nationwide or on the e-commerce site bachhoaxanh.com. Additionally, you can also make beef meatballs at home using a recipe from TasteVN.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Choose carrots that are straight, with smooth skin, bright orange color, and feel firm and heavy in your hand.
- Avoid choosing those with thick, large shoulders, as these usually have a large core, resulting in less sweetness and fewer nutrients.
- Do not choose deformed carrots, dark in color, bruised, or with unusual spots.
How to choose fresh and delicious white radish
- It is advisable to buy medium-sized white radishes that taper towards the tail. Radishes with a thick tail usually have a bland taste.
- Choose white radishes that still have their tops and roots intact, preferably those with fresh tops, as these are freshly harvested radishes.
- Avoid white radishes with rotten tops while still having smooth skin, as these have been injected with preservatives.
You can buy vermicelli and pickled radish sold at markets, shops, and supermarkets. Additionally, you can make them at home with recipes from TasteVN.

Once the broth boils again, add the carrots and white radish.
After 10 minutes of cooking, season with 4 small pieces of rock sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, then skim off the foam on the surface, and cook for another 5 minutes until the broth is boiling.
Finally, when the ingredients are cooked, add half of both the minced green onion roots and leaves.

Making fried onions
