How to choose good quality pork
- You should choose pieces of pork that are bright pink-red in color, with white fat that is opaque and has a certain translucency, the cut surface of the meat should be dry, and when pressed with your hand, the meat feels firm and elastic.
- Good pork will have the meat and fat tightly adhered to each other, hard to separate.
- Avoid buying pieces of meat that are dull in color, leaking water, have an unusual smell, or have bruised surfaces as they will not ensure health when consumed.
How to prepare Vegetable Soup

Prepare the ingredients
After buying the vegetables, cut off the heads, use a knife to cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces about 2 finger joints long, then soak them in diluted salt water for about 15 minutes to clean off all the dirt. After that, drain them in a basket.
To remove the unpleasant smell from the pork, rub salt directly on the meat, wash it clean, and let it drain.
Quick tips for preparing pork without smell:
- Method 1: Rub the meat with salt (or vinegar, lemon juice) for about 3 minutes, then rinse it under running water, and let it drain.
- Method 2: Soak the meat completely in diluted white wine for about 10 minutes, then wash it again with water.
- Method 3: Boil a pot of water, blanch the meat for about 1 minute, then remove it and rinse it again to prepare for cooking.

Next, chop the pork finely and marinate it with 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, a little ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder for about 15 minutes to allow the meat to absorb the flavors.
For the green onions, cut off the roots, wash them clean, and then cut them into pieces about 1 finger joint long.

First, you place a pot on the stove. Then, add 500ml of water and bring it to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Next, add the marinated minced meat and cook over medium heat.
When the water boils, use a spoon to skim off the foam on top to make the broth clearer. After boiling for about 5 – 10 minutes, add the vegetables.
Cook for another 5 minutes, adjust the seasoning to taste, then add chopped green onions. Turn off the heat and serve in a bowl. You can sprinkle a little ground pepper on top and enjoy.
