How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- When buying tomatoes, you should choose those with a bright red, plump skin, of moderate size, even color, and without scratches or tiny black spots on the skin.
- Prioritize selecting tomatoes with the stem tightly attached to the fruit; when smelled, you can sense a gentle, characteristic aroma. These tomatoes are vine-ripened and just harvested, making them taste better and fresher.
- Avoid buying unusually large tomatoes that have lost their stem and have no aroma when smelled, as they have likely been treated with growth hormones.
How to choose fresh and delicious chicken eggs
- Prioritize buying eggs with thick, evenly colored shells, with a thin layer of powder surrounding the shell. These are fresh eggs.
- In addition, when buying eggs, you can gently shake them to check their freshness. If there is no sound when shaking, the egg is still fresh; if a loud noise is heard, the egg is old and not tasty.
- To ensure safety, you should buy chicken eggs that are inspected from reputable brands at supermarkets, TasteVN, with prices ranging from 30,000 VND (price updated as of 10/2021).
