How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- It is recommended to buy whole pieces of meat and mince them yourself to ensure safety, as it is difficult to check the quality of pre-minced meat.
- Choose meat with a dry membrane, bright red color, slightly dry surface, and soft texture.
- The meat should not have a strange smell and should feel elastic when touched.
How to choose fresh and delicious sand worms
- Choose fresh sand worms that are medium-sized (not too big or too small), bright pink, and still alive.
- When buying sand worms, choose those on the surface, as they will be fresher and tastier.
- Avoid buying small, thin, discolored, weakly crawling, or less active sand worms, as these are about to die.
- Buy from reputable places in markets, supermarkets, etc., to ensure the quality of the sand worms.
How to make Sand Worm Omelette
-
Prepare ingredients
Wash all ingredients and chop scallions, dill, and lolot leaves. Finely chop the chili pepper.
Wash the tangerine peel and then cut it into thin, small strips.
-
Prepare sand worms
For fresh sand worms, prepare them by placing them in a bowl of water and gently washing them by hand to prevent them from bursting. Then, mix hot water at about 60 degrees Celsius and add the sand worms.
Gently stir a few times with chopsticks, allowing the mud, hair, and legs of the sand worms to fall off and float to the surface, then remove the sand worms.
For frozen sand worms, transfer them from the freezer to the refrigerator to thaw gradually, then prepare them as you would fresh sand worms. Avoid thawing them by soaking in water or using a microwave, as this can easily contaminate the sand worms with bacteria, posing a health risk.
-
Mix sand worms with other ingredients
Put the cleaned sand worms in a bowl, along with seasonings: 1/2 teaspoon MSG, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon seasoning powder, 1 tablespoon salt, and mix well.
Then add 4 eggs, minced meat, chopped herbs, tangerine peel, and chili to the bowl of sand worms. Whisk the eggs with the mixture.
Tip:
- Only add a small amount of tangerine peel, as too much will make the dish bitter.
- You can adjust the amount of chili or omit it altogether according to your family’s taste.
-
Fry the sand worm omelette
Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan and heat until boiling. Then, add the sand worm mixture to the pan, fry over medium heat, and cover the pan for about 5-7 minutes, until the sand worms are slightly cooked and golden brown.
After 5-7 minutes, reduce the heat to low, remove the lid, continue frying like frying an egg, flip and fry until golden brown on both sides, then turn off the heat.
Tip: Fry over medium heat to prevent the sand worms from burning, and do not overcook, as the sand worm omelette will become dry and lose its original deliciousness.

Finished product
After cooking, enjoy it immediately while it’s still hot. The fried sand worm omelette with its attractive, rich flavor and distinctive golden color will be a wonderful dish!
