- Fresh bamboo shoots will have bright colors, a crisp texture, and a characteristic fragrant smell.

- Fresh pork will have a dry membrane on the outside, and the surface of the cut will feel firm to the touch without a sticky sensation.
- The fresh meat should have a pinkish-red color and be soft, while the fat should be opaque white.
- You should choose pork that retains its elasticity when pressed and has a distinctive fresh meat smell.
- If you see the meat is dark red or turning black, do not buy it as it may be pork raised with lean meat enhancers.
- Avoid buying meat that is light green, darkening, or has red skin as this indicates spoiled pork that is no longer usable.

Prepare and boil the bamboo shoots
To save time on preparation, you can buy pre-shredded fresh bamboo shoots. After purchasing, wash them and soak them in diluted salt water for about 15 – 20 minutes.
Next, to remove harmful substances from the bamboo shoots, boil them for about 10 – 15 minutes, then take them out, rinse them 2 – 3 times with clean water, and let them drain.
Tip for boiling bamboo shoots correctly:
- After preparation, boil the bamboo shoots with water from young vegetable leaves until they are tender, then take them out to soak in cold water for about 5 minutes, and rinse again 2 – 3 times with clean water.
- You can replace the young vegetable leaf water with rice washing water; boil the bamboo shoots until tender, then rinse again 2 – 3 times, and they will be ready for cooking.
- During the boiling process, do not cover the pot to allow harmful substances in the bamboo shoots to evaporate completely.
