How to choose fresh and safe pig hearts
- The experience of choosing hearts is to select those that are bright red. The outside should be smooth, soft, and the heart membrane should be intact.
- Remember to choose hearts that are of moderate size, weighing about 300g – 500g for the best quality.
- Fresh and tasty hearts will feel elastic when touched. If you press a little harder, you will see a bright red liquid.
- Absolutely do not buy any that are abnormally large, dark in color, have bruises, or unusual odors. If pressed, they feel mushy and yellow liquid comes out. If you cut the heart and see clotted blood or black liquid, you should discard it immediately, as it may be spoiled.
How to choose fresh potatoes
- You should choose tubers that have smooth, hard, intact skin, with no pests or eyes on the skin and no rot.
- When buying, you should also hold the potato to see if it feels firm, and if it is heavy, as this will determine the quality of the potatoes.
- Avoid choosing white potatoes as they are not as sweet and nutritious compared to yellow potatoes. Also, do not buy tubers with wrinkled skin, as most of these have been stored for too long, are withered, and no longer sweet.
- A special note is to not choose potatoes that have sprouted or have greenish skin, as these contain toxins.

Cook the porridge
Prepare a pot of boiling water. Once boiling, add 1 bowl of cold rice and cook on high heat.
After boiling for about 2 – 4 minutes, turn off the stove, cover tightly, and let it sit for 1 hour. At this point, the rice will expand more, and the porridge will not be too mushy, with the water remaining relatively clear.

Prepare the ingredients
Wash the pork heart with salt water 1 – 2 times, then slice it thinly.
Next, place the pork heart in a bowl and marinate with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, and a pinch of ground pepper. Mix well and marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the spices.
Peel the onion, wash it, and then cut it into small wedges.
After washing the potatoes, peel them completely and soak them in salt to remove harmful substances. Then, cut them into four pieces.
Wash the perilla leaves and ginger, then chop them finely.

Stir-fry the heart
First, place a pan on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of oil to heat. Then, add the sliced onion to sauté.
Once the onion turns golden, add the marinated heart and stir-fry over low heat. Make sure to use a ladle or chopsticks to continuously stir the heart so that it absorbs the seasoning and cooks evenly.
After about 7 – 10 minutes, when you see the heart turning dark, it is cooked; if there is some stir-fry juice, turn off the heat.
