Preparation of Chicken Offal
To clean and eliminate the odor, soak the chicken offal in diluted saltwater with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for about 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
How to eliminate the odor of chicken offalWhen eviscerating the entire chicken offal set, you need to separate the liver first, then the intestines and gizzard, and follow the steps below for preparation:
- Gizzard: When handling the gizzard, remove all the waste, then scrape it to avoid water entering, as it will be difficult to scrape off the adhering layer. After scraping clean, rinse with water and then rub with white salt. Squeeze and rinse with water until completely clean. You can add a little vinegar and rub evenly for 2 minutes to help the gizzard become clean and odor-free.
- Intestines: Identify both ends of the chicken intestines, use chopsticks to pierce one end, then use your hand to slide the chopsticks along the length of the intestines until the chopsticks slide out the other end to push out all the waste inside the intestines. At the same time, secure the edge of the intestines at the head side with the chopsticks so that when sliding, you can turn the intestines inside out as well.
- Liver: Separate the chicken liver; if it is a large piece, you can cut it into bite-sized pieces.

- To choose good chicken breast, select pieces with white skin as this indicates it is mature chicken, and the meat will be more chewy and delicious. When pressing on the meat, it should have elasticity and not be mushy.
- Avoid choosing pieces with many white stripes; the more stripes there are, the less fat and protein, making it harder for the meat to absorb seasoning during cooking.

- Yellow potatoes will be tastier and sweeter than those that are slightly white.
- Avoid choosing wrinkled potatoes, those that feel soft when squeezed, or have black spots, are rotten, or leaking water.
- Absolutely do not choose potatoes with green skin or sprouting as they are extremely dangerous to health.
How to prepare potatoes without browning
- After peeling the potatoes, you should immediately soak them in a bowl of cold water or water mixed with a little salt. However, with this method, you should cook them right away; otherwise, the potatoes will lose their flavor and become bland.
- You can also soak peeled potatoes in cold water mixed with a little vinegar. This method also significantly reduces the formation of black spots.
- For potatoes that have already browned, you can briefly boil them with a bit of fresh milk. This method can remove the formed black spots and give the potatoes a fragrant milk aroma.
