How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pig liver
- You should choose pieces of pig liver that are still whole, with a smooth and even surface and without any lumps.
- Normally, fresh pig liver will have a bright red or pink color, a slight meat smell, a firm texture, and good elasticity.
- If the pig liver has turned dark, shows signs of yellowing, and has an unpleasant smell when sniffed, you should not buy it as it is no longer fresh or may be from sick animals.
How to choose fresh and delicious pumpkin
- Choose pumpkins that are a deep orange color, feel heavy and solid in your hand, and are free from bruises or scars.
- You should pay attention to selecting pumpkins with a stem length of about 2 – 5cm so that the pumpkin does not spoil quickly and can be stored longer.
- Avoid buying pumpkins that have spots, blemishes on the skin, or show signs of being soft, mushy, slimy, and have an unusual smell.

Prepare pork liver
To clean dirt and toxins in the liver, after purchasing, use a knife to remove the blood vessels, then wash it with water until clean.
Next, soak the pork liver in a bit of unsweetened milk for about 30 minutes to eliminate the odor and clean the liver.
After about 30 minutes, take the pork liver out, wash it clean, and then chop it finely with a knife.
How to properly clean pork liver, without a fishy smell
- Method 1: You can soak the pork liver in diluted salt water for about 1 – 2 hours. Then wash it again with water until clean. The salt water will help sterilize the inside of the liver and remove bacteria clinging to the outside.
- Method 2: Besides salt, you can also soak the pork liver in a diluted vinegar mixture for about 30 minutes, then take it out and rinse it clean with water.
- Method 3: Additionally, flour/cornstarch will also help eliminate the odor of pork liver. Just put the flour into the bowl with the liver, then stir well and let it sit for about 30 minutes, then rinse it clean.
