How to choose delicious corn
- For American corn, you should choose ears with bright green color, and the husk should not be too dry. The corn silk should still be soft and smooth, and the stem should not be dark, bruised, or wilted.
- For sticky corn, you should choose long, slender ears that are not too large. The outer husk should cling tightly to the body, with a light green color. The corn should have smooth silk and not be wilted, with evenly white, plump, and soft kernels.
- For both sticky corn and American corn, you should avoid buying ears with hard kernels and yellowing, dry leaves as these are signs of old corn, which will not have sweetness and taste when cooked.
How to choose delicious fragrant sticky rice
- To create deliciousness and chewiness for the sticky rice, you should choose “nếp cái hoa vàng” – a type of sticky rice with plump, round, shiny, and uniform grains.
- When selecting sticky rice, you need to pay attention that good sticky rice will have plump, round golden grains, with a slightly cloudy white color. In particular, the sticky rice grains should not have black dots or yellow stains.
- Fresh sticky rice will have a mild, slightly sweet fragrance that is very characteristic.
- Avoid choosing sticky rice that is as white as flour, as it is likely old sticky rice that has been milled again or polished sticky rice, losing its nutrients.
