Prepare fresh squid
Fresh squid bought should be rinsed with diluted salt water to remove the fishy smell, clean the insides, remove the black ink sac, and cut off the eyes and beak of the squid.
Next, peel the skin off the squid, wash it clean, let it drain, and then slice it thinly for eating.
Tips for cleaning fresh squid quickly and effectively- First, use one hand to hold the body of the squid and the other hand to hold the head, then gently pull up to remove the ink sac. If the ink sac breaks, wash it thoroughly with water.
- Next, use a knife to cut off the squid’s eyes and the hard round mass in the middle of the head or squeeze it out completely with your hands. After that, make a light incision at the head of the squid’s body to create a groove between the skin and the flesh to pull the skin off.
- Finally, clean the head and insides of the squid with water, and you can prepare it into delicious dishes.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Squid
- Choose squid that has a shiny color. The brown part should be dark brown, while the body of the squid should be cloudy white like milk, and the squid meat should be firm and elastic.
- Pick squid with clear eyes that are not bulging, with a visible pupil and not yellow or leaking fluid. The tentacles and beard of the squid should be tightly attached and firm.
- Avoid choosing squid with cloudy eyes, which may sometimes have leaking fluid.
How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Kohlrabi
- You should choose kohlrabi that are of moderate size, with a diameter of 7 – 9cm, not too large or too small; when held, they should feel heavy and firm.
- Choose those with a bright light green color, intact without any signs of pests or bruises, and with no foul or chemical smells.
- Avoid buying kohlrabi with overly shiny and strangely dark green skins as they may have been soaked in chemicals and growth stimulants. Also, avoid pre-peeled kohlrabi as most are soaked in chemicals to keep them fresh longer.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- You should choose carrots that are still firm, of medium size, with a straight elongated shape towards the tail, and feel solid when picked up.
- Opt for carrots with bright orange, smooth skin, and fresh green leaves tightly attached to the root.
- Avoid carrots with thick leaves at the base and a thick root, as these are old carrots with less fiber and nutrients. Avoid those with wilted, bruised stems, soft spots, slime, and discoloration.
