How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose good quality pork
- For whole pork pieces, first, pay attention to the color. The color of good meat is bright pink, neither too red nor too pale.
- Pork that is firm and has high elasticity is good meat. You can test by pressing your finger into the meat; if it bounces back immediately, is not slimy, and does not exude water or juice, it is good.
- You should choose pork with a balance of lean and fat to ensure your dish is neither dry nor too greasy.
- For pre-ground pork, it is best to buy from reputable stores or supermarkets, ensuring it is kept in the refrigerator and the packaging is intact to guarantee quality.
How to choose fresh and delicious papaya
- For soups, you should choose to buy duck-beak papaya (the type of green ripe papaya, ready to ripen) because when simmered or cooked in soup, it will have a sweeter, more fragrant taste than raw or ripe papaya.
- You should choose papayas that have a dark green skin with some yellow spots, feel firm when pressed, and have a stem that is still oozing latex because this indicates the papaya is freshly cut.
- Good papayas have a long and slender body, feel heavy when held, are of moderate size, with each fruit weighing about 1 kg or less.
- Avoid choosing soft ripe papayas, unripe papayas, or those with strange black spots or bruises.
How to make Minced Meat Papaya Soup

Prepare the ingredients
Minced meat after purchasing should be marinated with minced shallots, 1 spoon of salt, 1/2 spoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/2 spoon of seasoning powder, and 1 spoon of ground pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for about 30 minutes for the minced meat to absorb the seasoning.
Tip: You can buy pork and grind it at home using a meat grinder or ask the seller to grind it for you right after purchase.Peel the papaya, let it sit for about 5 minutes to release all the sap, then rinse and drain. After that, remove the seeds and cut the papaya into thin slices suitable for eating.

Cook the soup
Place a pot on the stove and turn on medium heat, adding 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pot. When the oil is hot, add the ground meat, stir-frying for about 2 minutes until the meat is browned.
Next, add 1 liter of water to the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, skim off the foam, then add 1 teaspoon of salt along with the papaya.
Cook on high heat for another 3 minutes until the papaya is cooked, then season to taste and turn off the heat. Serve the soup in a bowl, sprinkle with ground pepper for added appeal, and it’s complete.
