How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose lean pork correctly
- For whole pieces of pork, first, you need to pay attention to the color. The color of good meat is bright pink, not too red and not too pale.
- Pork that is firm and has high elasticity is good meat. You can test by pressing your finger into the meat; if it bounces back immediately, is not slippery, and does not leak water or juice, then it is good.
- For ready-to-use minced pork, you should buy it at reputable stores or supermarkets, and when buying, it must be stored in the refrigerator and the packaging must be intact to ensure quality.
How to choose quality onions
- You should choose onions with thin, shiny, evenly colored skin that feel dry and firm to the touch.
- Choose bulbs with long roots and skins that are tightly attached to the onion bulb, as these are fresh onions.
- Avoid purchasing bulbs that have sprouted, feel soft to the touch, or are unevenly colored, as these onions are no longer fresh and may taste bitter when eaten.
How to choose safe, fresh carrots
- Good carrots are those that are of moderate size, with smooth, shiny skin. When held, they feel firm and heavy.
- Choose carrots that have a natural orange color, with green tops that are still fresh and tightly attached to the root.
- Avoid purchasing carrots that have unusual shapes, bruised or wilted tops, or show signs of discoloration, and when pressed, they indent easily.

Prepare the ingredients
You peel the onion, wash it clean with water, and cut it into small cubes.
Peel the carrot, wash it clean, shred it, and then chop it small.
Ground pork you bought should be placed in a bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, the chopped onion and carrot, and 1 tablespoon of flour for frying, then mix all together evenly. You should marinate the meat for about 20 minutes for the meat to absorb the spices.

Frying vegetable meatballs
After 20 minutes, you roll the marinated meat into round, flat meatballs.
You place a pan on the stove, add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil, and heat the oil until it boils. When the oil is hot, you add the meatballs and fry them over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides, then remove them and let them drain on paper.
Tip: To prevent oil from splattering when frying the meat, before frying the food, you should add a little flour to the hot oil because flour has the effect of absorbing moisture. During the frying process, remember to use chopsticks to push the layer of flour aside so it doesn’t burn.
