How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh carrots
- Good carrots will have a bright orange color; choose those with a moderate size because if they are too large, they are old carrots, and if they are too small (except for mini carrots), they are immature carrots without the characteristic flavor.
- Observe the green leaves of the carrots; the greener the leaves, the fresher the carrots, indicating they have just been harvested; otherwise, the carrots have been stored for a long time and are less fresh and sweet.
- Do not buy carrots that feel slightly soft when pressed; these are wilted carrots, and they will not taste good when cooked.

How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- Fresh pork will have a dry film on the outside, and the surface of the cut will feel firm when touched, without a sticky sensation.
- The fresh meat has a pinkish-red color, soft texture, while the fat is opaque white.
- You should choose meat that bounces back when pressed and has a characteristic fresh meat smell.
- If you see a piece of meat that is dark red or turning black, you should not buy it as it may be pork raised with lean meat enhancers.
- Avoid purchasing meat that is light green, dark purple, or has red skin as this indicates that the pork has spoiled and is no longer usable.

Prepare and marinate the meat
To eliminate the unpleasant smell from the pork you bought, wash it with diluted salt water, then rinse it with clean water and let it drain.
How to clean pork effectively, without odor:
- Method 1: Soak the pork in rice water for 15 minutes, then take it out and wash it thoroughly to effectively remove the smell from the pork.
- Method 2: Use crushed ginger to rub on the piece of pork and let it sit for 5 minutes, then rinse with water; this way the meat will be clean and odor-free.

Cut the pork into thin slices for easy eating. Marinate the meat with minced shallots, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well and let it sit for about 30 minutes for the pork to absorb the spices.
