How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh sweet mustard greens
- Fresh sweet mustard greens are dark green, thick-leaved, smooth leaves, with a firm but still tender and crunchy stem. When held, the leaves stand upright, not wilted or drooping, indicating freshness.
- Avoid buying mustard greens that are light green or yellowing, have black spots, are soft and wilted, or have developed thick, hard stems.
How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- When buying pork to chop for soup, you should choose lean meat with a little fat as it will be easier to chop.
- Good pork has a generally bright color, with lean meat being light pink or light red, and the fat is white and slightly opaque.
- Observe the cut surface of the meat, which should be dry, firm, and elastic when pressed; the meat should not have an unpleasant odor, and the fat and lean meat should be well connected, indicating that the meat is freshly slaughtered and fresh.
- Do not buy pieces of meat that are discolored, pale, have an unpleasant smell, or are slimy and soft.

Prepare and chop the pork
To eliminate the unpleasant odor and clean the pork, use a little salt to rub directly onto the meat, then rinse with water and let it drain.
Next, slice the meat thinly and then chop it finely.
Tips for preparing pork without odor:- Method 1: To keep the pork clean and eliminate the odor, the simplest way is to rub the meat with salt for about 1 minute and then wash it clean. Additionally, you can soak the pork in diluted salt water for about 5 minutes, then rinse it clean.
- Method 2: Use lemon juice (or vinegar, white wine,…) to rub the piece of meat, then rinse it with water until clean.
- Method 3: Another way to eliminate the odor from pork is to boil a pot of water, briefly blanch the piece of meat for about 1 minute, then take it out and rinse it under running water to remove all impurities.

Prepare other ingredients
Remove the damaged and wilted parts of the sweet cabbage, then cut into bite-sized pieces about 2 finger lengths. Soak the sweet cabbage in diluted salt water for about 10 minutes, rinse 2-3 times with clean water, then drain in a colander.
Peel the outer skin of the onion, remove any wilted leaves, cut off the roots, and wash thoroughly. Chop the green onion and pound it in a mortar.

Cook the soup
Place a pot on the stove, add about 1.5 liters of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Next, add 1 spoon of cooking oil, mashed onion, and minced meat, and stir well.
Once the water is boiling, reduce to medium heat, remove all the foam, and add the sweet mustard greens to the pot. Season with a mixture of spices including: 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce, and stir well.
Continue to cook for another 2 – 3 minutes until the greens are cooked evenly, adjust the seasoning to your taste, and turn off the stove. Sprinkle a little ground pepper for aroma and it is ready to enjoy.
