How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh eggplants
- To choose fresh and delicious eggplants, first, you should prioritize selecting long fruits with smooth skin and even color.
- Next, choose fruits that feel firm when held, with green and fresh stems tightly attached to the fruit, as these are usually newer fruits, and will taste sweeter when eaten.
- Avoid choosing fruits with wrinkled skin, stems that are light yellow and dry. These are fruits that are older or have been stored for a long time, and will taste bland and not delicious.
How to choose fresh, quality chicken eggs
- When choosing eggs, first you should select those with a dark shell, and when you touch the surface, it feels rough.
- Gently shake the egg and hold it close to your ear; if you don’t hear the egg moving inside, it indicates that this is a fresh egg.
- On the contrary, you should avoid eggs with a smooth shell, light color, or those that make noise when shaken, as these are eggs that have been stored for a long time or are damaged inside.

Prepare the eggplant
Prepare a bowl of clean water, then add 1 teaspoon of salt, and stir well until the salt fully dissolves. Wash the eggplant, cut off the stem, and then use a knife to cut the eggplant into round slices about 1/2 finger thick.
Put the sliced eggplant into the bowl of diluted salt water to soak for about 5 – 10 minutes to prevent the eggplant from browning, then remove the eggplant to a basket and let it drain.
Next, use a spoon to scoop out the eggplant flesh, then use the knife to chop the eggplant flesh into small pieces and place it on a plate.

Prepare other ingredients
If you buy pork belly and grind it at home, first soak the meat in diluted salt water for about 5 minutes, then rinse it thoroughly and let it drain.
Next, chop the meat into small pieces and put it into a meat grinder to grind finely or use a knife to chop and place it in a bowl.
Chop off the roots and withered leaves of the green onion and cilantro, then wash them thoroughly, let them drain, and chop finely. Finally, peel the carrot, wash it clean with water, and cut it into small cubes.
