How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork belly
- You should choose pieces of meat that have a pink-red lean part, a dry surface, and a balanced amount of fat and meat for better taste, avoiding greasiness.
- To check if the meat is still fresh, press it with a finger; if the meat does not stick to your hand and bounces back when you pull your finger out, it is fresh, and you should buy it.
- Avoid purchasing pieces with a slimy surface or any unusual blue-purple patches.
How to choose fresh and delicious quail eggs
- To select good quail eggs, you can shine a light on them; if the air cell inside is small, then these are fresh eggs you should buy.
- If possible, you can test by dropping them into a glass of water; fresh quail eggs will sink to the bottom, while older eggs will float more easily.
- Do not buy eggs that have cracked surfaces or are already broken.
How to choose fresh and delicious radishes
- It is advisable to buy radishes that have an off-white color, a rough surface, and are not scratched or bruised.
- Good radishes are those that are elongated, proportionate, with a thicker top and tapering towards the tail.
- Prioritize choosing radishes that still have their stems attached tightly to the root.
How to prepare Braised meat with quail eggs and radish
-
Boil quail eggs
Put quail eggs into a pot with 500ml of water and boil over medium heat for about 15 minutes until the quail eggs are cooked, then remove them into a bowl of cold water and proceed to peel the eggs.
How to peel quail eggs quickly and easily
- To make peeling easier, when boiling the eggs, add 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of vinegar, then stir well. After that, remove the eggs into a bowl of cold water.
- Additionally, after the eggs have cooled, place them in a plastic box with a little water, then close the lid tightly and shake the box; the eggshell will gradually crack, making it easier for you to peel.

Prepare and marinate the meat
To eliminate the odor of pork, use coarse salt to rub all over the piece of meat and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then, rinse the meat with clean water and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Marinate the meat with 1 minced shallot, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of MSG, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of chili sauce.
Mix well and let it marinate for about 30 minutes for the meat to absorb the flavors.
How to clean pork properly, without odor
- To eliminate the odor of pork, instead of rubbing salt on the piece of meat, you can soak it in a diluted saltwater solution for about 15 minutes and then remove it to drain.
- Alternatively, you can also blanch the meat in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then remove it, rinse thoroughly with cold water, and let it drain.
