How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- When buying, you should press the beef with your hand; if it’s good beef, it will have a firm texture and good elasticity, not sticky, and no unpleasant or abnormal odor.
- Choose small, tender pieces of meat with fine fibers, and they should have good elasticity when pressed.
- Avoid buying beef that has a pale green or dark red color, with dark yellow fat, white spots on the meat fibers, and feels mushy or slimy when touched.
How to choose fresh and delicious cabbage
- Fresh and delicious cabbage will have a shiny color and a round shape. You should not buy those that are flat or oval-shaped as these are hollow and not firm.
- Choose cabbage that has a slightly dark green color; if it’s purple cabbage, it should be a deep purple and choose heads that feel heavy and firm.
- Avoid buying cabbage that has black-brown spots on the body or is bruised, as these are cabbages that have been stored for too long and are no longer crisp and fresh.

Prepare and marinate the beef
After purchasing the beef, rinse it with clean water. To eliminate the smell of the beef, take 1 piece of ginger, smash it, and rub it all over the meat for about 2 minutes.
Then, rinse the meat with diluted salt water and then rinse again with clean water. Marinate the meat with 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of MSG, minced garlic, and let it sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
How to clean beef properly and remove the smell:
- Method 1: Roast 1 piece of ginger, scrape off the burnt outer layer, then crush the ginger and rub it onto the beef, leaving it for about 3 minutes before rinsing with clean water.
- Method 2: Alternatively, you can use vinegar or white wine to rinse briefly, which also helps to clean and effectively remove the smell of beef.
