How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Select Quality Beef
- You should prioritize choosing pieces of beef that are bright red, interspersed with ivory white veins, with fat that is bright yellow, and the beef fibers should be tender and not too fine.
- Good quality beef will spring back when pressed with your hand, not feel sticky, and will not have any unpleasant or unusual odor.
- You should avoid buying pieces of beef that are pale green or dark red, with dark yellow fat, and that show white spots on the fibers, as these are signs of old meat that may not be safe to eat.
How to choose fresh and delicious kale safely
- Choose kale that has a deep green color, thick leaves, and feels smooth and slick to the touch.
- Choose leaves that are of moderate size, with stems that are not too hard, as these indicate younger vegetables that will taste tender and sweet when eaten.
- Avoid selecting leaves that are yellowing, wilted, or have many pest marks, as they will not taste good.

Prepare the Ingredients
Cut off the thick stems of the kale and chop it into bite-sized pieces, then rinse the kale 2 – 3 times with water, drain in a basket and let it dry.
To eliminate the odor of the beef, rub it thoroughly with a little salt for about 2 – 3 minutes, then rinse it under running water until clean, and slice the meat into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Place the beef in a bowl and mix well with 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate. Marinate for about 10 minutes to allow the beef to absorb the flavors.
How to Clean Beef Without Odor- Method 1: Roast a piece of ginger until cooked, smash it, and rub the ginger on the beef, then rinse with clean water.
- Method 2: You can lightly roast a piece of dried onion, peel it, smash it, then marinate it with the beef instead of using garlic as usual.
- Method 3: Rub the beef with a little salt, then rinse it clean with water, let it dry, and prepare it as desired.
