How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- Fresh shrimp will have a translucent shell; conversely, if they appear dark or have uneven colors, then the shrimp are dead, and the flesh will be mushy and not tasty.
- When picked up, fresh shrimp should feel firm and strong, able to bounce away, while the shell joints are flexible, and the head and body of the shrimp are tightly connected, not separated, indicating they are fresh shrimp.
- In addition, observe the tail; if it is tightly folded together, then it is fresh shrimp; on the contrary, if it is spread out, then it has likely been injected with chemicals or water to appear plumper.
- Avoid buying shrimp that feel slimy, have a rounded, bent body, with legs that do not cling tightly to the body, and if pressing on the shell feels soft and mushy.
How to choose fresh quail eggs
- Fresh quail eggs have a beautiful, sturdy outer shell with clear patterns, and especially no rough shapes or unusual blemishes on the surface.
- Moreover, quail eggs that have a thin powdery coating on the shell and are mostly uniform in size are usually signs of fresh quail eggs.
- Additionally, if they feel too light when held, and shaking them produces the sound of liquid sloshing inside, then they should definitely not be purchased.
- Avoid buying quail eggs with shells that are crushed, cracked excessively, or soft and mushy, as these are signs that the eggs have spoiled due to prolonged storage.

Prepare the ingredients
First, take the pork leg you bought and rub a little salt over the surface of the meat for 3 – 5 minutes, then rinse it a few times with clean water and let it drain.
At the same time, place a pot on the stove with 500ml of water on high heat. When the water boils, add the entire pork leg that has just been prepared, and blanch it for about 3 – 5 minutes, then remove it to a bowl.
For the shrimp, use your hands to remove the heads, peel off the shells, then use a scissors or a knife to insert into the back of the shrimp to remove the intestinal thread. Next, rinse them briefly with water to clean and let them drain.
For the white radish, cut off the top, use a peeler to peel the skin, wash it clean, let it drain, and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Finally, peel the garlic and shallots. Then, chop 2 shallots and 2 cloves of garlic finely.
How to quickly remove the shrimp’s intestinal thread
- Method 1: First, turn the shrimp upside down, then gently bend the head from bottom to top while gently squeezing to push the dirty part of the shrimp out. Next, hold onto that dirty part and the thread will also be removed.

How to choose and where to buy delicious noodle soup
- Depending on your preference, you can use either fresh or dry noodles to prepare pork leg noodle soup!
- Delicious noodles are those that have a cloudy white color, and when pressed lightly, they feel soft and smooth but not too mushy, not falling apart, and especially there is no unusual sour smell.
- You can easily find fresh noodles at the market, at noodle shops near your home, or buy dry noodles at grocery stores, supermarkets, or more conveniently, go to e-commerce sites like bachhoaxanh.com to order.
How to blanch noodles to be chewy and not mushy
- When you buy noodles, separate them to loosen the strands. If the noodles are too long, you can use scissors to cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Then, soak the noodles in a bowl of cold water for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Use your hand to squeeze the noodle strands; when they are just soft, take them out immediately, do not leave them in too long as they will become mushy.
- After taking them out, put the noodles in a bowl of cold water, wait about 2 minutes for the noodles to cool down, then take the noodles out and put them into a bowl. Doing this will make the noodles chewy and not mushy.
- Do not blanch the noodle cakes in the broth as it will make the broth sour. You should boil a small pot of water to blanch the noodles.
- Add a little cooking oil or fried shallots into the blanching water to prevent the noodles from sticking together and to give them a glossy finish.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Fresh and delicious carrots will have a deep orange color, bright and smooth skin, not too rough or have unusual tiny spots on the surface, and the green top should still be intact and tightly attached to the body, not separated.
- It is advisable to buy carrots that are of moderate size, not too large or too small, with a slender shape, feeling solid in hand, not too light.
- Avoid buying carrots with crushed tops, slimy bodies, dark spots, or that feel soft when pressed as these are carrots that have been stored for too long.
- Additionally, you should limit choosing oversized carrots as they are often older, which means they will have more fibers and very few nutrients.
