Tips

My Mother-in-law blamed me for buying whitening chemicals because it’s too bright, too crisp, little did I know that I only put this in the water.

I once made the embarrassing mistake of accidentally buying a chemical soak instead of a natural soak for fruits. My mother-in-law was horrified when she saw me putting it in the boiling water.

Pork is a familiar dish in most family meals. With its fragrant and tender taste, easy preparation with other ingredients, and relatively affordable price, almost every woman carries over a dozen pork dishes to take care of daily meals.

Not only the meat but also other parts of the pig are popular with the Vietnamese, among which the heart dish must be mentioned. Crispy and crunchy in the mouth, dipping a little shrimp paste brings out the aroma, the perfect taste that cannot be expressed every time it is mentioned. The heart does not need any complicated processing, just wash it clean and boil it with a shrimp paste dip, it is considered a delicacy.

However, how to boil the heart to make it delicious, crispy, and white is something not everyone knows. I have always been puzzled that, no matter how good the heart I buy is, how clean I wash it, soak it in salt, turn it inside out and scrub it… it never turns out as white and crispy as it does at the store. Until I learned this trick.

This is a trick I learned from a friend who cooks, and according to him, it took him nearly ten pounds of heart before he discovered it. It’s very simple, the secret is that after boiling the heart, immediately soak it in a bowl of cold water with squeezed lemon juice, and the heart will be crispy and perfectly white like at the store. That’s all there is to it, but if we don’t know it, we’ll never get to eat crispy heart at home, will we?

It was also because of this secret that my mother-in-law wrongly scolded me for choosing a tasteless heart. However, after I showed her this trick, she nodded in praise and I even received compliments from our relatives because my mother-in-law couldn’t help but show off.

Remember to keep this trick in mind, in case your mother-in-law likes rustic dishes, you will know how to please her, score points absolutely, no joke.
