How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good carrots
- You should choose those that are of moderate size, straight and tapering towards the end, with smooth skin, firm to the touch, and slightly hard.
- Choose carrots that are bright, deep orange, with fresh green tops tightly attached to the root.
- Do not choose carrots with damaged tops, slimy roots, or bruises, and that feel soft when pressed.
- Do not choose very large carrots. If the leaves, stems at the base, and shoulders of the carrot are large and thick, these are old carrots, which will have more fibers and less nutrients.
How to choose good peas
- Choose peas with a shiny skin and when snapping the stem, it should always be crisp. Do not choose peas with a rough skin as those pods may not have good seeds or may be shriveled.
- After purchasing peas, you should keep them whole in a sealed bag in the refrigerator’s cool compartment if not using immediately. When needed, just take them out, separate the seeds, and prepare. With this storage method, you can keep the peas for about 5 – 6 days.

How to Choose Fresh, Delicious Shiitake Mushrooms
- When buying fresh shiitake mushrooms, you should choose ones that look like an umbrella shape and are not bruised.
- Select mushrooms that are medium-sized, with short stems, tightly capped, and a slightly yellow-brown color.
- Avoid choosing mushrooms with dark brown caps as they may be toxic.
Tips for Cleaning Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms
- Fresh shiitake mushrooms should be cleaned by removing the dirty soil at the base, then soak them in diluted salt water for 2 minutes. After that, rinse thoroughly with water, and while rinsing, gently rub the mushrooms with your hands to completely remove all dirt and impurities.
- Before cooking, remember to cut off any bruised or aged parts of the mushroom stems.
How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- To choose fresh and delicious shrimp, it’s best to select those that are still alive and active.
- You should choose fresh shrimp with a translucent shell that still has a slight smell of seawater, not a fishy odor. Do not buy shrimp that are dark-colored or unevenly colored.
- When lifting the shrimp, if you notice a slimy residue, it means the shrimp is not fresh.
- Fresh shrimp usually have their tails curled together. If the tails are spread out, it indicates that the shrimp has been injected with chemicals and should not be purchased.
