Preparation Tools
How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Choose Fresh Carrots
- Fresh carrots usually have a straight shape, smooth outer skin, few blemishes, and a bright orange color. When held, they should feel firm to the touch.
- Carrots are sweeter when the core of the root is smaller. When selecting, you should observe the shoulders of the carrot. If the shoulders are thick and large, then it indicates the carrots have a large core, which means they will not be sweet and will lack nutrients.
- Avoid buying wilted or damaged carrots. Even if the greens on the carrot are fresh, if the quality of the root is poor, you should not buy them.
How to Choose Fresh Daikon Radishes
- Good daikon radishes will have a smooth skin, free from scratches and bruises. Choose daikon that still has its green tops intact.
- Additionally, daikon that is straight, elongated, feels firm when held, and has roots around the radish is a sign of good quality.
- Avoid purchasing daikon that has lost its green tops, is overly large, or has swollen stems, as these are not fresh and will taste fibrous and bland.

How to choose fresh and delicious pineapple
- Delicious pineapples typically have a bright yellow skin, sometimes with a bit of green mixed in. If the pineapple has more green or brownish-yellow skin, it is either too young or too ripe, which may not ensure sweetness.
- You should choose short, plump pineapples with large eyes. These are pineapples that have not been artificially ripened and have thicker and more flesh compared to longer ones.
- Additionally, you can distinguish the ripeness of pineapples by smell. Unripe pineapples usually have no smell. Overripe pineapples will have a very strong aroma and may quickly develop natural fermentation.

Prepare the ingredients
After purchasing the pineapple, cut off both ends, stand it upright and peel the skin from top to bottom. Identify the diagonal strips of the pineapple’s eyes, then use a knife at an angle to make V-shaped cuts on both sides of the straight line of the pineapple’s eyes.
Continue to perform the same operation with the other diagonal lines and you will have a pineapple shaped in a spiral. Next, cut the pineapple in half horizontally. Choose one half of the pineapple and cut it into 3 equal slices.
Wash the peeled garlic and chili. Mince the garlic and chili, then place both into a dipping dish.
Quick way to peel pineapple (dứa) without cutting the eyes- First, cut the pineapple vertically from top to bottom into 4 equal parts.
- Continue to cut along the length of the pineapple slice, then stop at the end of the fruit and cut hard to remove the flesh and discard the skin.
- Avoid cutting too close to the skin to prevent leaving any eyes of the pineapple. Finally, cut into smaller pieces as needed.
