How to choose and where to buy delicious salted eggs
- When choosing salted eggs, you should select those without cracks on the outside and no mold. Gently shake the egg to feel a little water inside.
- Similar to choosing fresh eggs, you should hold the salted egg up to the light and sunlight. If you see the egg white is clear, pinkish, and the yolk is small and close to the shell, then it is a good quality egg.
- You should buy salted eggs from reliable places such as supermarkets, convenience stores, or you can refer to the method of making salted eggs at home by TasteVN.
How to choose fresh minced pork
- You should choose fresh minced pork that has a bright color; good meat will be light pink or light red, and the fat will be translucent white with a slight ivory tint.
- Good minced meat is unseasoned, with no strange smells.
- It is advisable to buy minced meat at supermarkets or ask the seller to mince it right at the time of purchase for guaranteed quality and safety.
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Choose those that are round, with shiny skin, not bruised or scratched.
- Opt for those that are red with a hint of yellow or red but slightly green.
- Avoid choosing tomatoes with hard skin, unappealing taste, or bland flavor as these may be chemically treated tomatoes.

How to remove the fishy smell from salted eggs- Soaking the salted egg yolks in white wine for about 2 minutes will help remove the fishy smell and make the eggs more fragrant.
