How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pig hearts
- You should choose hearts that are of relatively medium size, not too large but also not too small.
- Fresh pig hearts usually have a dark red color, are smooth and soft on the outside. When touched, they should have a certain elasticity. Pressing the heart with your hand will release bright pink blood, with no slimy fluid or foul smell.
How to choose fresh pig kidneys
- You should buy kidneys when you see the whole kidney has a dark red color and is uniform.
- Choose kidneys that feel firm when held, with no strange smell.
- When pressing on the kidney, you should still feel the elasticity, and the outer membrane of the kidney should still be intact.
- Do not buy kidneys that are soft or mushy.
- Avoid buying kidneys that have white spots or bruising.
How to choose delicious shiitake mushrooms
- Fresh shiitake mushrooms look like an umbrella, not bruised. You should choose mushrooms that are of moderate size, with short stems, a tightly curved cap, and a slightly brownish color.
- Avoid choosing mushroom caps that are dark brown as they may be poisonous; however, you should also be flexible in your selection because typically, cooked shiitake mushrooms will also have a dark brown color.
- Pay attention to the characteristic, natural aroma of the mushrooms.
How to choose fresh mustard greens
- You need to choose mustard plants that are bright green, with smooth and glossy leaves, free from dark spots, decay, and leaves that are not wilted, with no yellowing.
- It’s best to choose mustard with stems that are white-green, light green, not rotten, and without blackened areas.
- Fresh, good-quality mustard greens usually feel heavy in hand, and the weight of the plant should correspond to its size.
- Do not choose large mustard plants that feel light; these are often old and have been stored for a long time.

How to clean and prepare pork heart and kidneys without a fishy smell- Rub salt evenly over the kidneys, wait for 2-3 minutes, then rinse. Do this a few times and then soak them in cold water to remove the odor from the kidneys.
- To eliminate the fishy smell of the pork kidneys, you should wash them with a little alcohol and avoid rubbing too hard.
- Prepare the kidneys thoroughly, removing all the white parts inside so that they do not smell when cooked.

Prepare other ingredients
First, briefly blanch the instant noodles by placing them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove them.
Tip: You should time the blanching of the noodles precisely so that they are not overcooked, which would make them mushy and less delicious.Wash the sweet mustard greens thoroughly, then place them in boiling water, blanch for about 1 minute, and then remove them.
Use a knife to finely chop 1 onion and 2 cloves of garlic. For fresh shiitake mushrooms, you only need to wash them thoroughly, soak in water for 15 minutes, and then drain.
How to prepare fresh shiitake mushrooms:- Method 1 (boil the mushrooms): Use a knife to cut off any dirty stems (if any), then boil the mushrooms in a pot of boiling water for about 3 minutes, then remove and drain.
- Method 2 (soak the mushrooms): You can soak the shiitake mushrooms in warm water for about 1 – 2 minutes to clean off all the dirt and sawdust. Then rinse with cold water and cut off the mushroom stems to help them be free of impurities. You can also wash the shiitake mushrooms with rice water to eliminate the strong smell of the mushrooms and help them retain their natural flavor.
- Method 3 (wash the mushrooms): After cutting off the dirty parts under the stems, soak them in diluted salt water for 2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
