How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- When buying shrimp, pay attention to the legs; good shrimp will have transparent legs that are firmly attached to the body. If the legs turn black and are loose, the shrimp is stale and not tasty.
- Fresh shrimp will have a slightly curved body, firm meat, flexible and intact shell, and the head will be tightly attached to the shrimp body.
- Do not buy shrimp with spread-out, loose tails, missing tail fins, and not neatly arranged. They may have been out of water for a long time, preserved with chemicals that make them taste bad and can be harmful to health.

How to choose delicious pork belly
- To buy delicious pork belly, you should choose a piece of meat that has a balanced amount of lean meat and fat, with a thick outer skin layer.
- You should select a piece of meat with a fat layer about 2/3 of a finger thick, with the lean meat tightly attached to the fat layer. However, be careful; to buy pork belly that is just right to eat and not too tough, you should not choose a piece with an outer layer of fat and skin that is too thick, as this indicates an older pig.
- In addition, fresh pork belly will have a dry outer membrane, with a light red or bright pink color. When cut, the meat will have a bright pink color, white-pink skin, and a soft texture. The fat interspersed with the lean meat has a bright and firm color.
- Absolutely do not buy pork belly that has an unusual smell, leaves fingerprints when pressed, or has a slimy surface.
