How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh pork
- Fresh and good quality pork should have a light pink or light red color, bright and fresh appearance, dry and firm texture, good elasticity, and a soft skin layer.
- When buying pre-ground pork, you should choose the kind that has the characteristic aroma of meat and has a balance of lean and fatty texture, ensuring it is not too dry or too greasy when eaten.
- Avoid buying pork that has a pale or dark color, unusual odor, or is slimy, as this indicates poor quality meat.
- To ensure quality, you can buy pork and grind it yourself using a meat grinder.
How to choose good fresh noodles
- When buying noodles, you should choose those that have the fragrant smell of rice flour, are moist and elastic, with soft strands.
- Pure fresh noodles are slightly opaque white, not transparent. When tasted, they will have a slightly sour taste.
- Avoid choosing noodles that have an unusually bright white color, which feel crumbly or clumpy when eaten, as these are noodles that have been mixed with chemicals.
- To ensure quality, you can make fresh noodles at home following the detailed guide from TasteVN.

Prepare the ingredients
First, soak 300g of pork in diluted salt water for about 10 – 15 minutes, then rinse clean with water, drain, and proceed to chop or grind finely as desired.
Peel the outer skin of the shallots, rinse them clean, then chop them finely.
For enoki mushrooms, cut off the stems, rinse with diluted salt water for about 5 minutes, then cut into pieces about 2 finger lengths.
Finally, rinse 2 pieces of soft tofu and use a knife to cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Cook the broth
Place a pot on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and heat it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the shallots and sauté until fragrant.
Then, add the minced meat to the pot and stir well. When the meat is browned, season with 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and continue to stir to let the meat absorb the spices.
Next, add 700ml of water to the pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add enoki mushrooms and fish cake, then season with an additional tablespoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of seasoning.
After seasoning, add the soft tofu into the pot and continue to cook for about 15 minutes. Finally, adjust the seasoning to your family’s taste and add 1 tablespoon of fish sauce to enhance the flavor of the broth before turning off the heat.
