How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- You should choose beef that is bright red, with fine and smooth fibers, light yellow fat, and the meat should look dry and especially have the characteristic aroma of beef.
- In addition, you should select whole cuts of meat rather than pre-cut pieces, as this allows you to observe the freshness of the meat.
- Avoid choosing beef that is dark red, with large fibers and dark yellow fat, as this indicates older beef, which will be tough and not tasty.
- Additionally, do not choose beef that is leaking liquid, has an unusual odor, or has grains that resemble rice inside, as these could be stones and eating them would not be good for your health.
How to choose fresh and clean bean sprouts
- You should choose bean sprouts with long roots instead of short ones, with a slender shape and a milky white color.
- In addition, fresh bean sprouts will have green beans, no black spots, and will not be detached from the bean sprout stems.
- Do not buy bean sprouts that look attractive and bright white in color as they may have been soaked in chemicals. Additionally, avoid purchasing bean sprouts that are gray, bruised, or have a foul smell as these are bean sprouts that have been stored for too long.
- If you have time and want to ensure the safety for your family’s health, you can make bean sprouts at home using the recipe guide from TasteVN below.
How to make Beef Bean Sprout Soup

Prepare the ingredients
Wash the beef with diluted salt water, then rinse with clean water and let it drain. After that, use a knife to slice it thinly and place it in a bowl.
Wash the bean sprouts and let them drain. Peel the ginger and garlic, wash them, and chop them finely. Remove the roots from the coriander and green onions, wash them, and cut them into small pieces.
-
Marinate the meat
Put minced ginger and garlic, 1 spoon of seasoning, a little ground pepper, and 1 spoon of cooking oil into a bowl, then mix well and marinate for about 10 minutes to let the meat absorb the spices.

Cook the beef bean sprout soup
Place a pot on the stove, turn on medium heat, and add 2 teaspoons of cooking oil to heat up. Once the oil is hot, quickly stir-fry all the marinated beef for about 1 – 2 minutes.
After the beef is seared, add 400ml of water and bring to a boil, adjust the seasoning to your family’s taste, then add the bean sprouts and cook for another 1 – 2 minutes before turning off the heat.
