How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose quality beef
- You should choose female beef instead of male beef; beef that is bright red with some white streaks will taste better.
- Additionally, good beef is usually not too fine, the meat fibers are soft and small, when you press lightly with your hand, you can feel the elasticity; releasing your hand will return the beef to its original state.
- Avoid choosing beef that is pale green, has some tiny white spots, feels mushy and sticky to the touch, especially if it has an unpleasant fishy smell.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- You should choose carrots that are bright in color, of moderate size—not too big or too small, straight in shape, with a small core and feel firm.
- Avoid selecting carrots with a large core, wilted, with many scratches or bruises from being stored for too long; also, do not choose carrots that are bent or misshapen.

Preparing beef
The beef you bought should be rinsed with diluted salt water and then washed again with clean water, drained, and then minced or you can put it into a meat grinder to grind finely.
Next, marinate the beef with 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and 1 teaspoon of finely chopped green onion, mix well to let the spices soak in for about 5 minutes. To save time, you can buy pre-ground beef!
Place a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, heat until boiling, turn on medium heat until the oil is hot, then add chopped shallots to sauté until fragrant. When the shallots are golden and fragrant, add all the marinated beef and season with 1/3 teaspoon of salt and 1/3 teaspoon of sugar.
Tip:- For this porridge dish, you can use minced pork, minced shrimp, or chicken as well!
- To prevent the beef from releasing water, you need to stir quickly for about 2 – 3 minutes until the beef is slightly pink, then turn off the heat.
