How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken
- Fresh chicken will have a pinkish, bright color, thin, smooth skin, and light yellow color.
- When buying, you should gently press the chicken with your hand. If the meat has good elasticity, it is still fresh. Conversely, if pressing it shows signs of being soft and mushy, it may be chicken that has been injected with water, and you should not buy it.
- Avoid choosing chicken that has an unusual smell, bruises or blood clots on the skin, mushy meat, and lacks elasticity.
How to choose fresh and delicious bell peppers
- You should choose bell peppers that have a shiny, thick skin, bright color, feel heavy in hand, and still have the stem, as these are fresh, tasty, and nutritious bell peppers.
- Avoid choosing bell peppers that are soft and mushy, and have black spots on the surface, as these may be spoiled peppers that have lost their nutrients.
- To ensure you buy bell peppers of the best quality, you should purchase them from reputable stores, food stalls, supermarkets, or large markets.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Choose carrots that are straight, have smooth skin, feel firm, hard, and heavy when held.
- Sweet and delicious carrots will have a small core. Do not choose carrots with leaves or branches at the base, and those with large shoulders, as these have a large core and are not sweet.
- Avoid buying soft, bruised, rotten carrots or those that are too large in size, as they often have a lot of fibers, a large core, and do not taste good.
How to choose fresh and delicious dried radishes
- You should choose dried radishes that have an even color, yellowish-brown, feel soft to the touch, and have a natural fragrance.
- Avoid buying radishes that are black or have unusual colors, have a foul smell, or show signs of mold.
- To ensure you buy dried radishes of the best quality, you should purchase them from reputable stores, supermarkets, or markets. Additionally, to ensure safety, you can also buy radishes and dry them at home.
