How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh and quality pork
- You should buy pieces of meat that are light pink or light red, look fresh, and when you cut them with a knife vertically, the meat fibers should slightly tighten, with a soft skin.
- Choose pieces of meat that have a characteristic aroma, press with your hand to feel a good elasticity, and the layers of fat, skin, and meat stick tightly together, indicating quality meat.
- You should not buy pieces of meat that are pale in color or have strange odors as these usually do not ensure quality.
How to choose fresh and delicious radishes
- You should choose radishes with smooth skin, intact, without scratches, bruises, or soft spots.
- Choose radishes with firm leaf stems, tightly attached to the radish body, and fresh green leaves.
- Fresh and delicious radishes are usually small, with a gradually tapering body towards the tail, straight shape, and roots still attached to the radish, indicating that they are fresh and will taste good while ensuring quality.
- Avoid buying overly large radishes with soft bodies as they will taste bland and have a lot of fibers.
How to choose fresh tomatoes that are not bruised
- You should choose tomatoes with bright red skin, uniform color, looking plump, without scratches and intact.
- Fresh tomatoes usually have a characteristic mild fragrance, with green stems still attached, and the seeds inside the fruit are yellow.
- Avoid choosing fruits with green seeds, no fragrance, wilted stems, or detached from the fruit as these are not good tomatoes.

Prepare the ingredients
First, rinse the rice several times with water and let it drain. For the white radish and tomatoes, peel the radish and wash all the ingredients thoroughly, then use a knife to chop them finely.
Next, use a blender to puree the two ingredients and put them in a bowl.
Wash the meat thoroughly with water. To remove the pork smell, rub the piece of meat with salt for about 3 minutes, then rinse it again and let it drain. Place the meat on a cutting board, chop it finely, and transfer it to a new bowl.
Then, add 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and marinate for about 15 minutes to allow the meat to absorb the seasonings.
How to clean pork without odor
- Method 1: Rub the meat with salt (or vinegar, lemon juice) for about 3 minutes, then rinse under running water and let it drain.
- Method 2: Soak the meat in diluted white wine for about 10 minutes, then rinse with water.
- Method 3: Boil a pot of water, blanch the meat for about 1 minute, then remove and rinse again before using it for cooking.
