How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef bones
- Good beef bones are those that have a natural bright red color, with a characteristic beef smell, the meat on the bones is dry, firm, and does not have a slimy texture.
- To ensure quality, you should buy beef bones at reputable markets, supermarkets, or food stores.
- Avoid buying beef bones that have a cloudy white color and an unusual foul smell as these are old meat, no longer fresh.
How to choose delicious beef balls without borax
- To select delicious beef balls without borax, you should choose those with a bright color, not blackened, with a natural stickiness and moderate round size.
- When buying pre-packaged beef balls, you should purchase them from reputable markets, supermarkets, or e-commerce websites. Make sure to carefully check the production information and expiration date on the packaging.
- Additionally, to ensure quality, you can make beef balls at home following the guide from TasteVN.
How to choose fresh and delicious lemongrass
- Fresh and delicious lemongrass will have a beautiful green stem, intact body, and not bruised.
- You should choose lemongrass with tightly wrapped sheaths, the leaves are not wilted and have a characteristic fragrance.
- Do not buy lemongrass with bruised stems, dark appearance, and no lemongrass scent.
How to choose fresh and delicious pineapple
- You should choose pineapples that have an eye-catching yellow color mixed with green, with a slightly round and short shape, and the larger the eyes, the better.
- Fresh and delicious pineapples will have a naturally sweet fragrance, and when touched, they should have a moderate softness with slightly wrinkled skin.
- Avoid buying pineapples that feel hard and heavy, or those with dark brown spots and no fragrance, as these are low-quality pineapples.

Crush 5 stalks of lemongrass and set them aside. Peel the garlic and chop it finely. For the pineapple, use a knife to peel, remove the eyes, and wash it thoroughly with water.

Next, add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh chili, 2 tablespoons of chili powder, and 1 tablespoon of annatto oil into the pan, stir-frying for about 3 minutes.
Then, season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar in the pan, continuing to stir the mixture over low heat until the chili paste turns a reddish-brown color, then turn off the heat.

Cooking the broth
Place a pot on the stove, and add the beef bones, shallots, onions, ginger, half of the remaining lemongrass, and the prepared pineapple into the pot.
Next, add 2 liters of water and simmer the broth over medium heat for about 45 – 50 minutes.
After simmering, add the beef balls into the pot and cook for another 10 minutes until the beef balls are cooked.
Then, season with 3 tablespoons of the satay just made, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1 tablespoon of rock sugar into the pot, stirring well to dissolve the seasonings into the broth.
Finally, taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking, then turn off the heat.
Tip: The remaining satay chili can be cooled and stored in a glass jar for later use. Do not place satay in the refrigerator as it will harden easily. -
