How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Good tomatoes have a bright red outer skin, uniform color, no scratches, and a light natural fragrance.
- When buying, you should choose tomatoes with fresh stems that are not wilted and tightly attached to the body.
- Avoid buying tomatoes that have small, uniform spots, and when you cut the fruit in half, the seeds inside are green, and the flesh is light pink. Because these fruits are not naturally ripe but have been artificially ripened.
How to choose fresh and delicious chicken thigh mushrooms
- You should choose fresh chicken thigh mushrooms that are between 12 – 15cm in length. If they are longer, the mushrooms will be hollow, not as fresh, and less sweet.
- Fresh mushrooms will have a very distinctive aroma similar to almonds, the cap of the mushroom is brown, shiny, without scratches, bruises, or wrinkles, and has a thin layer of fuzz on top of the cap.
- Avoid buying mushrooms that have a foul smell, are bruised, have a soft stem, or have uneven colors.
How to choose fresh and delicious sour plums
- To buy good sour plums, you should carefully select each fruit when buying. At the end of May, sour plums start to appear, but to get delicious medium-sized sour plums, you have to wait until June to early September.
- The best sour plums are those just picked, with the stem still intact, the fruit has a bright green color, without bruises, and the outer skin is rough.
- Do not choose fruits that are bruised, leaking, or showing signs of spoilage.
