How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients:
How to choose clean, delicious pork:
- Fresh and delicious pork usually has a light pink or light red color, with firm and dry meat. The fat layer should be a slightly ivory white.
- Typically, good pork will have good elasticity. Therefore, you can check by gently pressing your finger on the piece of meat. If the meat leaves an imprint and quickly returns to its original state, then it is good pork.
- Avoid buying pork that is oozing liquid, has many bruises, or many grains like rice, as this indicates that the pig was sick, which is very harmful to the health of the consumer.
How to choose fresh straw mushrooms:
- When buying, you should choose straw mushrooms that are round or slightly cylindrical in shape, still in bud and not yet opened.
- You should prioritize buying black and gray mushrooms first, then move on to those that are mostly white.
- Additionally, you should choose straw mushrooms that are uniform in size so that the dish does not have varying flavors after cooking.

Prepare and marinate the pork
After buying the pork, you wash it with salt water or diluted lemon juice. Then, you take the pork out and rinse it with clean water, let it drain and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
You marinate the pork with 2 spoons of sugar, 1/3 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of fish sauce, a little pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce. Next, you mix well to allow the spices to penetrate the meat evenly.

Prepare other ingredients
After purchasing straw mushrooms, use a knife to cut off the base of the mushrooms and then cut the mushrooms in half.
You soak the mushrooms in salt water for 3 – 5 minutes, then remove and let them drain.
For green onions, cut off the roots, remove any wilted stems, and rinse them with clean water. Then, cut the green onions into pieces about the length of a finger.
Cut the roots and peel 3 cloves of garlic, then wash them and chop finely.
