How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork
- The piece of meat that has been treated with chemicals will have a quite appealing color, but it is dry, the meat fibers are firm, when touched it does not stick to the hand, when cut inside it is mushy and has an odor, pressing your finger into it leaves an indentation without elasticity, you should absolutely not buy it.
- Do not buy pork that has a layer of lean meat close to the skin, bright red due to being injected with a type of growth hormone.
- A good piece of meat should be dry, not slimy, with normal smell and color.
- You should buy solid chunks of meat with high elasticity; when you press your finger into the meat, it creates a dent but does not leave a mark when you lift your finger, and the meat fibers are even.

How to choose fresh chicken eggs
- You can use your hand to touch the surface of the eggshell; if the surface is rough and slightly textured, it is a fresh chicken egg; if the surface is smooth, the egg has been stored for quite a while.
- Hold the egg up to the light; if you see a small air cell, the yolk is round, seems to be stationary and balanced in the middle of the egg, with an orange or light pink color, and the egg white is clear, then it is a new chicken egg.
- Do not buy eggs that, when held up to the light, show a large air cell, with a red yolk that floats, as these are old chicken eggs.

How to choose fresh and delicious asparagus
- Fresh asparagus will have sturdy, plump, straight stems that are not broken or wilted. In particular, fresh asparagus will not have a smell (the smell of asparagus will arise when cooked).
- Fresh asparagus stalks should have bright colors, gradually deepening at the tips and not yellowing, with the bottom part being dry and not waterlogged.
- Avoid purchasing asparagus stalks that have black spots on the stems and signs of mold. Especially, when the tips of the asparagus start to flower, you need to discard them.

Prepare vegetables
Peel and wash shallots and garlic, then chop finely. Clean the green onions, remove any dry or wilted leaves, wash them, chop them up, and separate the leaves from the white parts.
Peel the carrot, remove the stem. Then wash the onion and carrot and dice them.
Wash asparagus and bell peppers with diluted salt water, then rinse with clean water. Remove the stem and core from the bell pepper, and cut off the tough ends of the asparagus.
Soak fresh shiitake mushrooms in diluted salt water for 10 minutes, then cut off the stems and wash them with clean water. Dice the shiitake mushrooms.
-
Prepare the pork
Wash the pork thoroughly, remove the odor by blanching it in boiling water and then rinse it again with cold water. After that, cut it into thin small pieces.
Tips for properly cleaning pork:
- To remove the odor from the pork, blanch it in boiling water for about 3 minutes before cooking, then rinse it with cold water before proceeding with cooking. This will eliminate the unpleasant smell and make the dish more delicious.
- To prevent the meat from being mushy during cooking, when slicing, be careful not to cut it too small, so that when boiled, the meat firms up to the size of the diced vegetables.

Boil the ingredients
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. When the water is boiling vigorously, add the ingredients one by one, including carrots, asparagus, and pork, and boil until cooked, then remove and drain. Avoid boiling the ingredients together to preserve the delicious flavors of each type.
-
Stir-fry the filling
Add 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter to a hot pan over high heat, stirring until the butter is completely melted, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
When the garlic is aromatic, add pork, asparagus, onion, carrot, and shiitake mushrooms, and stir-fry quickly. Finally, add bell pepper and stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
Don’t forget to season with a bit of sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate, and pepper to taste.

Fried Rice
Add 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter to a hot pan, stir until the butter is completely melted, then add chopped onion and bell pepper and stir quickly.
Add 1 bowl of white rice to the pan and stir quickly to mix all the ingredients together, then add 2 teaspoons of annatto oil and stir rapidly to create a beautiful color for the dish.
When the rice is evenly colored with the annatto oil, add finely chopped green onions and stir for another minute before turning off the heat, then serve the rice in a bowl.
-
Fry the Eggs
Crack 5 eggs into a large bowl along with 2 teaspoons of annatto oil, and beat well.
Add 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil to a hot pan over medium heat, wait for the oil to heat up, then tilt the pan to spread the oil evenly over the surface.
When the oil is hot, slowly pour the eggs into the pan while tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly into a thin round shape. Cover to cook the eggs on both sides, then transfer them to a plate, being careful not to break the thin layer of egg.
Fry multiple thin egg pieces and arrange them on a plate to cool slightly.

Completion
You wash your hands clean to prepare for the final step of the dish.
Take 1 piece of egg onto a plate, spread 1 tablespoon of fried rice thinly on one edge of the egg, and add 1/2 tablespoon of stir-fried vegetables in the middle of the fried rice.
Use your hands to pull the edge of the egg in while holding the rice tightly, rolling the egg around the filling. You should do it slowly and skillfully, rolling gently to avoid tearing the egg.
Serve the dish on a plate, garnishing with a bit of ketchup and chili sauce to make it more lively and delicious.
