How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh pig kidneys
- You should choose kidneys that are dark in color, have a certain firmness when touched, are not soft and mushy, and do not have a foul smell.
- Additionally, the surface of the kidneys should not have any yellow, red, or white spots.
- Avoid buying kidneys that are rough, dark in color, or have an unusual smell as they may have been stored for too long and not properly preserved, which can affect your health when consumed.
How to choose fresh bean sprouts
- Fresh bean sprouts usually have many long roots, and the size of the sprouts is uneven, mostly elongated, with curved, non-shiny stems.
- Avoid buying sprouts that are unusually long, with thick, round stems, and short roots as these may have been soaked in chemicals.
- You can also make your own bean sprouts at home, which is safe, guaranteed fresh, and simple with detailed instructions from TasteVN.
How to choose fresh and delicious chives
- You should choose young chives that have bright colors and are easily broken when you snap them with your fingers.
- Do not buy old chives that are dark green, as they have many fibers and will be tough and not tasty or chives that have turned yellow and show signs of rotting.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Fresh and delicious carrots will have a characteristic deep orange color, bright skin, no cracks, and feel firm in your hand. The green tops should be fresh and not damaged or wilted.
- You should choose long, slender carrots of moderate size, not too large.
- Do not buy carrots with damaged tops and soft bodies. These are old carrots that are difficult to prepare.
