Ingredients for Seaweed Soup with Minced Meat and Tofu For 4 people

How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Choose Fresh Pork
- When buying meat, you should choose meat with normal color, bright pink.
- The piece of meat should be firm, sticky, soft, and have high elasticity. When you press down with your finger, it will leave a dent, but when you retract your hand, the dent will disappear.
- When cutting the meat, it should not leak water, should not smell, and the cut surface should be bright and dry.
- The piece of meat should not show signs of dark red-purple bruising and should not have any purple bruises.
How to choose good white tofu without gypsum
- Good tofu without gypsum will have an off-white color, feel lightweight when held, and have a smooth surface with a faintly fragrant soybean smell.
- Avoid mistakenly buying pieces of tofu that have turned yellow, feel heavy when held, and have a faint smell of lime, as these pieces are mixed with gypsum, which can be very harmful to health if consumed.
- To ensure safety, you should buy tofu from reputable tofu production shops or you can try making tofu at home with simple steps guided by TasteVN.
How to choose fresh and delicious enoki mushrooms
- When buying enoki mushrooms, you should pay attention to check the information about the production date and expiration date, as well as the origin of the product.
- Choose fresh mushrooms, with intact stems that are not bruised, and the whole body should be pure white.
- Pay attention to the mushroom base; if the mushrooms are good, the base will still be intact.
- Do not buy mushrooms if you notice any slime or liquid inside the packaging.

Prepare the ingredients
First, take 50g of dried seaweed and soak it in a bowl of water for about 15 – 20 minutes until the seaweed fully expands, then remove it and drain before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
For enoki mushrooms, cut off part of the stems, rinse them with water, then soak them in a bowl of diluted salt water for about 5 minutes before rinsing them clean with water and draining.
Peel and slice the shallots thinly.
1 piece of white tofu should be rinsed quickly in water and cut into several parts as desired.
100g of lean pork should be washed clean after buying and then minced finely.
Tip: To save time, you can use a blender to chop the meat faster.
