How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Choose Fresh Pumpkin
- You should buy round, evenly shaped pumpkins with dark brown skin, which can be bumpy but should not have many black spots or insect bites.
- Additionally, you should pay attention to choosing pumpkins with stems about 2 – 5cm long (those with shorter stems may rot faster).
- Choose heavy pumpkins that feel solid when lifted. Delicious and chewy pumpkins typically have two layers of skin; underneath the bumpy yellow-brown outer skin is a green layer. The flesh should be orange-red, looking fresh without being dry or crumbly.
How to Choose Fresh Seafood Mushrooms (Water Lily Mushrooms)
- Fresh seafood mushrooms will be white, with straight stems that are closely packed together.
- Fresh mushrooms usually still have roots, with intact, round, beautiful caps.
- Avoid buying seafood mushrooms that are broken, bruised, or have a fermented smell.

Prepare the ingredients
Carrot and pumpkin should be washed clean of dirt on the outside, then use a peeler to remove the skin and cut into pieces about the thickness of a finger.
The corn should be stripped of its husk and silk, then cut into 4 pieces.
Sea mushrooms should have their roots cut off, soaked in diluted salt, then rinsed clean with cold water.
Green onion should be trimmed of roots, washed clean, and then chopped finely.

Stew the vegetables
Add about 1 liter of water to the pot, then add the carrots, pumpkin, and corn to simmer for the broth.
Cover the pot and simmer the vegetables over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes. During the simmering, regularly skim off the foam to keep the broth clear and tastier.
After 30 minutes, remove the vegetables and let them cool.

Cooking minced meat macaroni
After the vegetables have cooled down a bit, chop the carrots and pumpkin into small cubes.
Then bring a pot of broth to a boil, add the sautéed minced meat, and season with 2 teaspoons of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate. Next, add the seafood mushrooms, diced carrots, pumpkin, and corn into the pot.
Cook over medium heat until the water in the pot boils and the mushrooms are tender, then add the macaroni and stir well. Simmer for an additional 1 – 2 minutes.
Next, crack an egg into a ladle, pour hot water over it to blanch the egg until cooked.
Finally, season to taste, turn off the heat, add chopped green onions, scoop the macaroni into a bowl, pour the broth over it, and place the blanched egg on top to enjoy.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Squash
- You should choose squash that is still young, with a lot of fine hairs. When you gently press the body of the squash with your hand, you can feel a certain softness of the skin.
- Good squash is not too big but feels heavy in hand, has a thick stem, with fresh sap, and has a straight shape; you should pay attention to this point!
- Do not choose old squash that is large but feels light when held, has no fine hairs, shows signs of being hollow, or has bruised, damaged skin or dark spots.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh minced pork
- To make delicious minced meat, you should buy shoulder meat or pork belly which has both lean and a little fat, so that when cooked, it will be tender, fatty, not dry, and not too greasy.
- If you buy pre-ground meat, you should also choose meat that has both lean and fat, with a fresh color, no foul smell, and no watery leakage.
- If you buy meat to grind yourself using a meat grinder, choose meat that has a bright pink color, and when pressed, it feels elastic and firm. The meat should not be dull in color, should not have a bad smell, and should not be mushy or watery.
How to choose clean quality pasta
- Currently, there are many types of pasta on the market. You should prioritize buying pasta with bright colors or off-white.
- Check the expiration date and whether the packaging is intact, along with information about the product’s origin.
- Avoid buying pasta that is moldy, broken, or crushed as it will affect health and detract from the aesthetic of the dish.
How to choose fresh carrots
- Good carrots have a straight, elongated shape, smooth shiny skin, bright color, and feel firm and heavy when held.
- Carrots with small cores will be sweeter than those with large cores.
- Choose carrots with a moderate size; larger ones often have more cores, are older, and have more fibers, which are not tasty.
- Avoid choosing carrots that are bruised, deformed, soft, wilted, or rotten.
How to choose fresh and delicious eggs
- Select small, round chicken eggs that are about 1/3 the size of your fist.
- Good eggshells are usually shiny, beautiful, not rough, and have a light pink or slightly yellowish color.
- When shaken lightly, good eggs will feel dense inside due to a full yolk.
- Avoid eggs with dull shells or those that are cracked or broken; if shaken, they will sound like water flowing, indicating they are old or spoiled eggs.
