How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork bones
- You should choose bone strips that have a bright red-pink color, are fresh, and have no unusual blue-purple spots on the surface.
- Delicious bone strips usually have a thickness of about 2 – 3 finger joints and should not have any unpleasant smell when sniffed.
- At the same time, you should check the cuts of the bone strips, and choose those with a dry surface, not slimy; if this phenomenon appears, you should definitely not buy them.
How to choose fresh potatoes
- Good potatoes usually have a bright yellow skin and a smooth, shiny surface.
- You should choose potatoes that feel firm, heavy, with no damage or bruises on the surface.
- Also, do not choose potatoes that have sprouted and are turning green, as these can easily cause poisoning when consumed, and are not safe.
How to choose fresh carrots
- You should buy carrots that are bright orange, with a smooth and shiny skin, and without any unusual black spots.
- Prioritize choosing carrots with fresh green tops that are firmly attached to the carrot body.
- Additionally, you should also choose carrots that are slender, well-proportioned, not too large but also not too small.
How to choose fresh and delicious chayote
- You should select fruits that are bright green, with many tiny spikes on the surface, as this is a sign that they are still young, making them softer and tastier when eaten.
- You can also check by pressing; if the chayote is soft when pressed, it is still young and you should buy it, whereas if it feels a bit firm and chewy, you should avoid it.
- You should not choose fruits with black spots on the surface, that are soft to the touch, or have signs of scratches and bruising.

Cook the soup
Place a pot on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, wait for the oil to heat up, then add finely chopped shallots, stir until fragrant, then add the pork bones, stirring for about 1 minute.
Since carrots take the longest to cook, add the chopped carrots first, stir with the pork bones on the stove for about 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes, add about 1 liter of water to the pot, wait for the water to boil, then add all the prepared chayote and potatoes, and season with 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and 1 teaspoon of pepper.
Adjust to medium heat, cook for about 20 minutes, add 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, and taste to suit your family’s preference before turning off the stove.
Tip: If you want your soup to be more visually appealing and fragrant, you can add a little chopped green onion to the pot after turning off the stove.
