How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- You should choose fresh beef so that when dipped in the hot pot, the meat will cook easily and be tender and sweet, bringing a more delicious flavor when enjoyed!
- Fresh and delicious beef always has a bright red color, with white tendons interspersed, and the fat is bright yellow.
- In addition, when touched, the meat feels firm, elastic like rubber, not too soft. In particular, the meat fibers are soft, small, and not too smooth.
- Besides, you should avoid buying beef that has turned bluish or dark red, dark yellow fat, with strange white spots or tiny spots on the surface because that is beef that has been left for too long and should not be eaten anymore.
- If it feels mushy and slimy to the touch, and has a strong fishy smell, absolutely do not buy it.
How to choose fresh pineapple
- Fresh and delicious pineapple has a bright, even yellow body, while the top is lush, not broken, firmly attached to the body, and bright green.
- Usually, pineapples with a lot of flesh will have a round, plump shape compared to those with a long shape. Especially, sweet pineapples will have many “eyes”.
- You can also rely on the aroma to choose a pineapple. If it smells too strong, it is a pineapple that is about to spoil and is fermenting. On the contrary, if you don’t smell any fragrance, it’s because the pineapple hasn’t reached the necessary ripeness.
- In addition, you should avoid buying pineapples that feel soft and bruised when touched because they have been left for too long and should not be eaten anymore.

Prepare the beef
First, rinse the beef with water. Next, wipe the surface with a clean damp cloth to remove any remaining dirt. Then, slice against the grain into bite-sized pieces.
How to prepare beef without the smell:
- You can use white wine, ginger, salt, lemon, or vinegar, then rub it on the meat and leave it for about 5-10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
- Also, while marinating the meat, roast a shallot, peel it, crush it, and marinate it with the beef to help eliminate the smell very effectively.
