How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh pork
- You should choose pieces of pork that are pink, dry on the surface, and not slimy.
- Additionally, the surface of the meat should not have many unusual blue or purple spots, and it should not smell rotten when you smell it.
- You can also check the freshness of the meat by pressing it with your hand; if the meat bounces back to its original shape after you remove your finger, it means the meat is still fresh, and you should buy it.
How to choose good quality dried shrimp
- Good dried shrimp usually has a natural pink-red color, and when touched, the flesh is firm, not soft and mushy.
- You should carefully check the shrimp to ensure they have a dry surface, are not slimy, and do not have harmful mold.
- At the same time, you should avoid buying shrimp that are too dark or too light in color as they may have been dyed for appearance, which will not taste good and is not healthy.
How to choose fresh green onions
- You should choose bunches of green onions that have fresh, green leaves and roots, not wilted or yellowed.
- Prioritize buying green onion stalks that still have plenty of roots to help maintain freshness longer.
- You should not choose green onion stalks with damaged or rotten leaves or bulbs.
