How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh minced pork
- Fresh minced pork should have a bright pink color, with white fat that has not turned yellow or shown any unusual dark spots.
- When you press it with your hand, you should feel that the meat has good elasticity, is firm, and especially does not feel slimy.
- You should avoid buying minced pork that has uneven colors or emits a strong fishy smell, as this indicates the meat has spoiled from being stored for too long, which is not good for your health.
- To ensure the deliciousness of the dish, you can also buy whole cuts of pork and use a meat grinder to mince it or follow the simple meat chopping guide below from TasteVN.
How to choose good quality sticky rice
- You should choose sticky rice grains that are uniform, shiny, and have an opaque white color. When you smell it, you should detect a light fragrance of freshly harvested sticky rice.
- You can choose the yellow flower sticky rice variety because it has a high stickiness and a special aroma. Good sticky rice will taste slightly sweet when you try a raw grain.
- You should buy sticky rice from reputable and quality stores or supermarkets. You can also purchase from the TasteVN store system or order sticky rice online at the website bachhoaxanh.com.
- Avoid buying sticky rice if you see that the grains have turned pale yellow or if you detect a strong pungent smell, as this type may have been chemically treated.
