How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose clean, standard chicken intestines
- You should choose chicken intestines that are fresh with a pink-red color, no foul smell, and the liver should not have a dark or pale green color.
- Gently press the intestines with your hand; if they are good, you will feel their elasticity and firmness. Old intestines or those from sick chickens, soaked for a long time will feel slimy, and squeezing them will show no elasticity, being mushy.
- It’s best to buy chicken intestines from reputable sellers to ensure quality and freshness. If possible, you should go to chicken slaughtering facilities to buy the best intestines!
- Do not buy chicken intestines from unreliable sellers, without clear origin to ensure food safety and hygiene for your dish.
How to choose fresh cucumbers
- You should choose cucumbers that are medium-sized, elongated with a dark green and uniform color, without bruises or yellow spots as these indicate overripe cucumbers, which are not tasty.
- Cucumbers should be straight, with little or no curvature. Cucumbers that are elongated and uniform in size are the type with a thicker flesh, which will be crunchier and tastier than shorter, round cucumbers.
- You should choose heavier, soft cucumbers with a smooth skin, without bumps, and prefer smaller cucumbers as they tend to be sweeter than larger ones.
- Avoid buying cucumbers that bulge in the middle or have a large head and a small tail (and vice versa) as these are overripe cucumbers, with many seeds, hard, and not tasty.

After washing the cucumber, cut off both ends and slice it into pieces about 2 finger lengths long. Then soak the cucumber in a little diluted saltwater for about 15 minutes, then remove it and place it in a basket to drain.
Peel the pineapple, remove the eyes, rinse briefly with water, then cut into bite-sized triangular pieces.
Cut off the roots and wilted leaves of the green onions, rinse well with water, then cut into pieces about 1 finger length long. Rinse the bean sprouts with water about 2 – 3 times, then let them drain.
