How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh and high-quality spare ribs
- Fresh and good spare ribs will have light pink or light red meat. If the meat is pale or too dark, you should absolutely not buy it because it may be from a sick pig.
- When buying, you must pay close attention to the smell. Like pork, spare ribs will have a characteristic smell. Avoid buying pieces of ribs that are spoiled.
- You should choose spare ribs of medium size, especially not too small. Because if the ribs are small, they may come from a small pig, which is not tasty and not safe.
- To choose delicious ribs with a lot of meat, you should choose flat bones instead of round bones.
How to choose quality pickled mustard greens (sour vegetables)
- Good pickled mustard greens will have a greenish-yellow color, especially the leaves that should remain intact, not torn or bruised.
- You should also pay attention to the liquid. Naturally fermented pickled mustard greens will have clear liquid.
- Avoid buying if you see white mold on the pickled mustard greens, black spots, or an overly strong smell, as this indicates that the pickled mustard greens have been stored too long and have spoiled.
- Additionally, to ensure quality and safety, you can make pickled mustard greens at home following the recipe shared by TasteVN.

Prepare and Marinate the Pork Ribs
After purchasing the pork ribs, use a knife to chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Next, blanch the ribs briefly in boiling water with a bit of salt for about 10 minutes to remove any unpleasant odor. Then, rinse them with clean water and place the ribs in a basket to drain.
Proceed to marinate the ribs with 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce for 15 minutes to allow the ribs to absorb the spices.
Effective Ways to Eliminate the Smell of Pork Ribs- Soak in salt water: Soak the cleaned ribs in diluted salt water for 10 – 15 minutes, then rinse them with clean water. While soaking, you can add a few smashed ginger slices and a few drops of white wine for more effective odor removal.
- Blanch in boiling water: After cleaning, place the ribs in boiling water for about 2 – 3 minutes, then remove them and rinse with water.
- Use straw: Just put the cleaned ribs into boiling water along with 3 – 5 pieces of straw, blanch for 2 – 3 minutes, then remove the ribs and rinse with clean water.
