How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork, ensuring quality
- Choose meat that has a light pink or light red color, and the fat should be slightly translucent white. Additionally, you should select meat with a little fat or a mix of fat and lean to avoid being greasy due to too much fat or dry due to too much lean.
- Fresh pork, when pressed with your hand, will show good elasticity; after you remove your hand, the meat should return to its original shape, and there should be no dents on the surface of the meat.
- You should not choose meat that has a pale color, a foul smell, or is slimy, as these are signs of spoiled or non-fresh meat.
How to choose fresh and safe chicken eggs
- Choose eggs with thick shells, not too large, as they are usually fresher than those with thin, large shells.
- If you notice that the eggshell is too smooth and shiny, these eggs have been stored for a long time, which can negatively affect health when consumed.
- For chicken eggs with a hard outer shell, check if there is a thin layer of powder surrounding the shell; if so, it indicates fresh eggs.
- To check if the eggs are still fresh, gently shake them; if there is no movement, the eggs are fresh, while strong movement indicates that the eggs are old.

Prepare the ingredients
Pork should be rubbed with a little salt when purchased, washed clean with water, and then drained.
Lettuce should have the roots removed and the leaves separated. The purple cabbage should be cut into thin strips using a knife. Then soak it in dilute salt water for about 3 minutes to clean the dirt, then wash it again with water and drain.
Carrots should be rinsed briefly, peeled, and the ends cut off, then shredded into thin strips.
How to clean pork properly without odor:- Method 1: Soak the pork in salt water for 5 – 10 minutes to allow impurities in the meat to gradually release.
- Method 2: You can use salt or lemon juice to rub on the meat, then rinse again with clean water and drain.
- Method 3: Use crushed ginger mixed with alcohol in a ratio of 2:1, rub it thoroughly on the piece of meat, and then rinse it clean with water.

Processing meat and eggs
Put a pot on the stove, add the pork into the pot, then fill with water, boil on high heat to cook the meat. Once the meat is cooked, take it out and place it into a bowl of cold water to cool it down and make the skin crispier. Next, place the meat on a cutting board and use a knife to slice the pork into thin pieces.
You crack 3 eggs into a bowl, then use chopsticks to beat the eggs together with 1 teaspoon of tapioca flour.
Next, you place a pan on the stove, add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil. Wait for the oil to heat up, then spread a thin layer of egg over the pan, and when the egg is just cooked, take it out onto a plate to cool. Next, you roll the egg up and cut it into small strips.

Mixing the dipping sauce for spring rolls

Rolling the colorful spring rolls
You lay a rice paper sheet on a cutting board, using water to moisten the surface of the rice paper for easier rolling. Then, you layer purple cabbage, carrots, lettuce, fried eggs, boiled meat, and vermicelli on the surface of the rice paper, fold the sides of the rice paper in, and carefully roll it up.
Do the same until all ingredients are used up.
