How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh Vigna
- You should choose young Vigna pods, with green skin, bright color, flat beans, the size of a finger.
- Since this is a stir-fried dish, choose beans that have small, crispy seeds that can be easily broken, and the inside is juicy.
- Do not buy Vigna if you see that the seeds are too large because these are old beans, which will not taste good.
- Also avoid buying Vigna pods that are bruised, have strange dark spots, or are leaking water, as these are spoiled beans.
How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- You should choose pieces of pork that have meat and a bit of fat as they will taste better when cooked and not be greasy.
- Good pork will have a layer of opaque white fat, pink-red meat, and a dry membrane on the outside that does not feel sticky to the touch.
- When you press the pork, you should still feel its elasticity, and the piece of meat should still be firm.
- Fresh pork will have a characteristic smell of raw meat, while spoiled meat will have a foul, rotten, or strange odor.
- Do not buy pieces of pork with too thin a layer of fat as they may come from pigs raised with lean meat enhancers.
- Avoid buying pieces of meat that are mushy, as they lose their elasticity and firmness when touched. The meat may have strange blood spots.

- Method 1: To eliminate the smell of the meat, first rinse it with water. Then rub the pork with salt for about 5 minutes, rinse it with clean water, let it drain, then slice it and prepare it for cooking.
- Method 2: You can also replace salt with lemon, vinegar, or white wine, repeating the process as in method 1.
