How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh corn
- When selecting corn for stir-frying, you can choose either sweet corn or glutinous corn, however, sweet corn will have a beautiful color and crunchy, sweet, and fluffy kernels that do not stick together.
- When buying corn, you should choose fresh ears, with the outer husk green and not dry, the corn silk still soft and smooth, and the stem should not be dark or wilted.
- Choose ears of corn that have a husk tightly hugging the inner cob.
- You also need to pay attention to the kernels; they should be plump, uniform, shiny, and straight.
- It is advisable to select ears that are moderately long and firm, as they will be sweeter than overly large ears of corn.
How to choose delicious dried shrimp
- Choose shrimp that are naturally orange on the outside and turning yellow on the inside, not too vibrant in color, and free from black or white mold.
- When picked up, they should feel dry, not too moist, as moist shrimp can easily become moldy during storage.
- It is best to buy dried shrimp from reputable places; for canned varieties, check the expiration date and origin to ensure quality safety.
- Additionally, you can also make dried shrimp at home following the recipe shared by TasteVN to ensure quality.
