How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh cartilage ribs
- Pork cartilage is the cartilaginous part at the end of the ribs, this cartilage is very soft with meat surrounding it, making it crispy and chewy when eaten, very delicious.
- When buying pork cartilage, you should choose those with firm meat around, good elasticity, and no leakage of fluid or mushiness.
- Do not buy cartilage that has a pale pink color gradually turning green, stored for a long time in the freezer, and without a clear origin.
- You should choose to buy cartilage ribs from reputable meat shops in markets or large supermarkets.
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- You should choose tomatoes with a bright red outer skin, evenly colored. The outer skin should be intact, without scratches, and plump is a sign of fresh tomatoes.
- In addition, fresh-picked tomatoes will have a stem tightly attached to the fruit, the stem remains fresh, not wilted, and has a light fragrant aroma characteristic.
- Do not choose tomatoes with wrinkled, lifeless outer skin, and the stem has fallen off, as these are fruits that have been harvested for a long time and no longer contain sufficient vitamins.
How to choose fresh and delicious pineapple
- Good, fresh pineapples should not be too hard or too soft; pressing your finger into them should not leave an indentation.
- You should choose pineapples with large, sparse eyes; the greener the crown of the pineapple, the fresher and tastier it is.
- A good pineapple will have a very fragrant smell when ripe. Pineapples with dry or brownish crowns or a slightly sour fermented smell are overripe and should not be purchased.
- You should also avoid pineapples with little or no smell, as they are not ripe yet.
- Additionally, you can also buy pre-peeled pineapples at traditional markets or large supermarkets.
How to choose fresh and delicious chicken leg mushrooms
- You should choose mushrooms with bright colors and a moderate length. If they are too long, the inside will be hollow and lack fresh flavor.
- In addition, good chicken leg mushrooms will have a very distinctive aroma similar to almonds and have a thin layer of fuzz on the cap.
- Avoid mushrooms that have a foul smell, are bruised, or have soft and mushy stems, as these mushrooms are no longer fresh and will not taste good when cooked.
How to prepare Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs

Prepare the vegetables
Tomatoes should be washed and cut into wedges, removing the seeds.
Chicken thigh mushrooms should be soaked in diluted salt water for about 3 minutes. After that, remove and rinse with clean water, then cut diagonally into thin, long pieces for easy eating.
Pineapple should be peeled, washed, and cored, then cut into fan shapes; after that, take 2 pieces of pineapple and chop finely to marinate the ribs.
Thai basil should be picked, washed, and chopped. Shallots and garlic should be peeled and minced.

Prepare and Marinate the Pork Ribs
To eliminate the unpleasant odor from the pork ribs, you can scrub them with salt until the salt dissolves completely, then rinse several times with water.
Next, use a knife to cut the ribs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl to marinate for about 20 minutes with minced pineapple, half of the minced onion and garlic, half a teaspoon of MSG, half a teaspoon of sugar, two teaspoons of seasoning powder, one teaspoon of soy sauce, and one-third teaspoon of pepper.
Mix well to ensure the ribs are coated and absorb the seasoning.
