How to choose fresh bell peppers
- You should choose bell peppers that have a base divided into 3 parts; these bell peppers will be tastier, crunchier, and have a richer flavor when stir-fried than other types of bell peppers.
- Choose those with a smooth, shiny, and firm surface that still have the stem, as these are fresh and recently harvested.
- Select bright-colored peppers that are not too light, as these will be fresh and rich in nutrients.
- Avoid selecting peppers that are bruised, waterlogged, have wrinkled skin, or wilted stems.
How to choose fresh carrots
- To choose fresh carrots, look for those that are bright, deep orange in color. Choose those with fresh tops, of medium size, and elongated shape.
- Select carrots that feel heavy and firm when held.
- You should avoid carrots that are pale in color, lack tops, have bruised or damaged bodies. Do not select overly large carrots, as they may be old and not tasty.
How to choose fresh purple cabbage
- Choose medium-sized cabbages that are evenly round, with outer leaves that are not bruised or torn.
- Cabbage should have a uniform color and a natural fragrance, with no strange odors.
- When holding cabbage, it should feel heavy and firm, indicating good quality.
- Avoid buying light or overly large cabbages, as they will be less tasty.

- Pay attention to choose chicken with a pink, fresh color; do not choose chicken that is white or dark, with yellow skin all over.
- Fresh chicken, when lightly touched, will have a high elasticity, not sticky to the hand.
- Additionally, good chicken has thin, smooth skin, light yellow fat, and some areas like the breast, wings, and back will have a deep yellow color.
How to Prepare Chicken Without Fishy Smell
- After rubbing with salt, you can use a mixture of wine and sliced ginger, pounding while rubbing and squeezing the whole piece of chicken once again, helping to eliminate odors and dirt. Rinse well and let it drain.
