How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose the right purple sweet potato
- You should choose purple sweet potatoes that are medium-sized, elongated, and not scratched on the surface. When pressed with your hand, they should have a moderate hardness and not be soft.
- In addition, you should not choose sweet potatoes that are too large because large sweet potatoes tend to be fibrous, making them less tasty and sweet.
- Avoid buying sweet potatoes that have black spots, sprouted, or are soft as these are old or spoiled tubers and will not be guaranteed when cooked.
How to choose fresh and delicious eggs
- Eggshell: Choose eggs that have a thin white powdery layer on the outside, feel rough or heavy in hand, as these are fresh eggs. If the eggshell is smooth, shiny, or has cracks, it indicates that the egg has been stored for a long time and is not fresh.
- Egg candling: When shining a light on the egg, if you see a small air cell, a round yolk that does not move, and a clear egg white with an orange-red or pale pink color, it is a fresh egg. Conversely, an old egg will have a red color with many moving veins around and a large air cell space.
- Shake gently: Hold the egg up to your ear and shake it gently; if you hear a sound, it is an old egg, kept for too long. If you don’t hear anything but feel the egg moving strongly, it is a bad egg that is in the process of hatching.
How to choose fresh and delicious green papaya
- Choose papayas that have green skin, an intact skin layer, and observe that the stem still has latex, with a moderate size, each weighing around 1kg. When pressing the skin of the papaya, it should feel firm.
- Do not buy ripe papaya to make this dish as they will be too soft, or unripe papaya will have a bitter taste.
- Papayas that are bruised or leaking juice, with shriveled skin, are old papayas that have been stored for too long and should not be purchased.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- You should choose carrots that are bright, deep orange in color, of moderate size, slightly firm and feel solid in your hand.
- If the carrot is too large, with a thick root, stem, and shoulder, then it should be avoided because these are older carrots, which will have more fibers and fewer nutrients.
- If you press it with your hand and feel softness, see bruises, or the stem is wilted, then absolutely do not buy it.

Prepare the ingredients
Purple sweet potatoes, papaya, and carrots should be peeled, washed thoroughly, drained, then shredded and separated by type.
To keep the carrots and papaya crispy when eating, soak the carrots and papaya in a bowl of cold ice water until ready to serve.

Mix the flour
You put 150g of rice flour, 40g of starch, 250ml of water, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar into a bowl, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon into the flour bowl.
You use a spoon to stir the flour mixture evenly, then let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Next, you put a pot on the stove over medium heat, add the flour and continuously stir for about 5 – 7 minutes until the flour thickens, then add the shredded purple sweet potato, continue to stir for another 2 minutes and then turn off the heat.

Steaming the dough
You prepare a mold, coat it with a thin layer of oil, then pour the dough mixture into the mold, spread it evenly, and press the dough tightly. Steam for about 40 minutes until the dough is cooked.
Once the dough tray is cooked, let it cool and place it in the refrigerator for about 3 hours.
Next, take the dough tray out of the refrigerator, invert it onto a cutting board, and cut it into bite-sized pieces about 2 finger lengths.
