How to choose fresh pork

You can buy ground meat already or purchase whole pieces to grind or chop at home using a meat grinder. If you choose to buy whole pieces, select fresh meat based on the following criteria:

  • First, you must choose fresh meat. The color of good meat is bright pink, not too red and not too pale.
  • Meat that is pale, has a greenish tint, and has a foul smell is spoiled; you should not choose this type of meat.
  • Fresh pork should be firm and elastic. You can test it by pressing your finger into the meat; if it bounces back immediately, is not slimy, and does not leak water or fluid, it is good.

How to choose fresh corn

  • Husk: Choose corn with green husks that are not dry and with silky soft silk; the cob should not be bruised or wilted. Additionally, the outer layers should tightly wrap around the corn.
  • Corn kernels: Good corn will have plump, uniform, glossy, and straight kernels. You should not choose corn that is too large; only select those that are moderately slender.
  • You can buy corn on the cob to husk yourself or purchase pre-husked corn kernels.

How to Prepare Sea Cucumber and Scallop Porridge

  • Prepare the Scallops

    After purchasing the scallops, use a sharp knife to insert into one side of the scallop and gently pry it open. Once the shell is open, slide the knife gently underneath the scallop meat to separate it from the shell.

    Next, use scissors to cut away the dark meat and the stomach surrounding the white meat of the scallop. Keep the white meat (scallop adductor) and the orange roe inside (optional). Then rinse the scallop meat several times with water until clean, and drain.

    Next, chop half of the scallops finely, leaving the other half whole.

    Quick and Simple Way to Open Scallop Shells

    • You need to use a specialized scallop knife and a sharp knife to detach the meat from the shell.
    • When you manage to open the scallop shell, use the knife to gently slide underneath the meat to extract it from the shell.
    • The dark meat surrounding the white meat of the scallop should be removed as this is the digestive gland, which includes a dark mass and a gut containing sand. It is important to discard the cartilage of the scallop; do not eat it.
    • After the meat is detached from the shell, gently take the meat out. Keep the frill (mantle), white adductor, and the red meat.

How to choose fresh and delicious sea cucumber

  • You should choose live, plump sea cucumbers. Do not choose sea cucumbers that have been dead for a long time, are slimy, or have an odor.
  • In addition, to buy high-quality sea cucumbers with clear origins, you need to find reputable suppliers, as this is an expensive food item and there are many places that counterfeit sea cucumbers and inflate product prices.

How to clean sea cucumbers properly, without a fishy smell

To eliminate the fishy smell of fresh sea cucumbers, you can apply one of the following methods:

  • Method 1: You peel off the intestines of the sea cucumber, wash it thoroughly with water, then pound ginger mixed with alcohol and soak the sea cucumber in the ginger-alcohol mixture for about 15 minutes to remove the fishy smell, then rinse again with clean water before cooking.
  • Method 2: You roast the sea cucumber briefly, then scrape off the slime and soak it in cold water for about 30 minutes to reduce its saltiness. Wait until the sea cucumber is completely soft, then peel off the outer skin, boil briefly, and soak it further in cold water to achieve the crispiness of the sea cucumber.
