How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork
- For safety and hygiene, you can buy pork and then chop or grind it yourself using a meat grinder.
- You should choose fresh pork that has a light pink to bright red color. The cut surface should be dry inside, with bright white fat and a characteristic aroma.
- Press your finger into the meat and then release it; if the meat does not leave an indentation, and the fibers are even and firm, then it is good meat.
- Do not choose pork that has dark-colored fat, unusual color, or is pale.
- Additionally, choose pork with a clear origin from reputable places, of good quality in supermarkets, clean food stores, or order from e-commerce sites like bachhoaxanh.com.

How to choose fresh carrots
- Choose medium-sized carrots that are straight and tapering towards the ends, with smooth skin, firm to the touch, and slightly hard.
- Select carrots that are bright, deep orange in color, with fresh green tops firmly attached to the body of the carrot.
- Do not choose carrots with wilted tops, bruised bodies, slimy parts, or showing dark spots; when pressed, they feel soft.

How to choose safe and crunchy bean sprouts
- Delicious bean sprouts that are not chemically treated will have many long roots, with long and uneven stems.
- You should choose sprouts with curved stems, beautiful pure white color, without dark spots.
- Good bean sprouts should have the bean seeds tightly attached to the stems, with few falling off. Sprouts that have lost their seeds have been stored for too long and are no longer fresh.
- If you have time and want to be more assured, you can make bean sprouts at home with the extremely simple recipe from TasteVN.
