  Soak the pork in diluted salt water, then rinse thoroughly with cold water and let it drain. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

  Wash the eggs with cold water, then place them in a pot of boiling water and boil over medium heat for about 15 minutes until cooked, then peel the shells.

  Wash the lemon, onion, garlic, and chili. Remove the stems from the chili, peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Wash the green onion and chop it finely.

  How to eliminate the smell of pork:

  • Blanch the pork in boiling water to remove the meat odor.
  • Use 3 – 4 shallots, peel, crush them, and add them to the water; put the meat in and boil for about 3 minutes; the shallots will help eliminate the odor very well.

  Marinate the meat

  After cleaning and cutting the meat into bite-sized pieces, place the meat in a bowl to marinate.

  Marinate the meat with 3 spoons of sugar, 1 spoon of seasoning powder, 3 spoons of seasoning granules, minced garlic and shallots, and the juice of 1/2 lime (equivalent to 1 spoon of lime juice).

  Mix well to combine the seasonings and coat them evenly on the meat. Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to penetrate the meat.
