Prepare the ingredients
Pork bones should be soaked in diluted salt water for about 5 minutes to remove the smell, then rinse thoroughly with several rounds of water and let drain.
Dried shrimp should be soaked in warm water for about 15 minutes until they swell and soften, then rinse thoroughly with 2 – 3 rounds of water and let drain.
Clean the shrimp, remove the head and tail, boil until cooked, then peel the shell. Boil quail eggs until cooked and peel.
Peel the white radish and carrot, wash thoroughly, and cut into round pieces about 2 finger widths thick. For the carrot, use half of it and dice it.
Wash the shallots, peel, and slice thinly. Wash the coriander and chop finely.

Marinate the pork
Put the pork bones in a bowl and marinate with 1 tablespoon of minced shallots, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar, mix well, and let marinate for about 20 minutes for the pork bones to absorb the flavors.
Put the minced pork into a bowl, add the diced carrot along with 1 teaspoon of minced shallots, 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar, mix well, and let marinate for about 15 minutes.
