How to choose fresh pork
- Choose pieces of meat that are dry, not slimy, with normal smell and color, firm texture, and high elasticity. When pressing with a finger, it should leave a dent but not leave a mark when you lift your finger.
- Do not buy pork that has been treated with chemicals, which will have beautiful colors but be dry and tough, with a firm texture that does not stick to your hand, and when cut open, it will be mushy and have an odor; pressing your finger into it will leave an indentation without elasticity.

How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- You should choose medium-sized roots, straight and elongated towards the tail, with a smooth skin, and the stalk still firmly attached to the root.
- When picked up, they feel firm and slightly hard, with fresh and green leaves.

How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- Fresh beef will have a dark red color, evenly colored meat, and a shiny surface where it has been cut. When sniffed, the meat should have a distinct fresh meat smell, with no strange odors.
- You should choose meat that feels dry to the touch, with no sticky sensation. Try pressing on the piece of meat; if it is fresh, it will have elasticity and will not dent when pressed.
- Do not buy meat that feels wet to the touch, as this indicates it has been soaked in water.

How to choose delicious shiitake mushrooms
For dried shiitake mushrooms
- You should choose mushrooms that are not broken and have a light brown cap (there should be no significant color change when the mushrooms are dried).
- Pay attention to the aroma, which should not be musty or have strange smells, and the mushrooms should not have any white mold spots.
For fresh shiitake mushrooms
- Fresh shiitake mushrooms look like an umbrella and should not be bruised. You should choose mushrooms that are of moderate size, with short stems, tightly closed caps, and a slightly brownish-yellow color.
- Avoid choosing caps that are dark brown, as they may be poisonous; however, you should also be flexible in your selection because normally, cooked shiitake mushrooms will also turn dark brown.
- Pay attention to the characteristic, natural aroma of the mushrooms.
