How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- You should choose to buy rare beef so that when dipped in hot pot, the meat will cook easily and become tender and sweet, bringing a more delicious flavor when enjoyed!
- Fresh and delicious beef always has a bright red color, while the white marbling is interspersed, and the fat is bright yellow.
- Additionally, when touched, the meat feels firm with good elasticity like rubber, not too soft and mushy. Especially, the meat fibers are soft, small, and not too fine.
- Moreover, you should avoid buying beef that has turned pale green or dark red, with dark yellow fat, and has unusual white spots or tiny dots on the surface, as this indicates that the beef has been kept too long and should not be consumed.
- If it feels mushy and slimy to the touch, and has a strong fishy smell, it should definitely not be purchased.
How to choose fresh pineapple
- Fresh and delicious pineapple has a bright yellow body, evenly colored, with a lush crown that is not broken, tightly attached to the body, and has bright green leaves.
- Usually, pineapples with more flesh will have a round, plump shape compared to those that are long. Especially, sweet pineapples will have many eyes.
- You can also rely on the fragrance to choose pineapples. If it smells too strong, it means the pineapple is about to spoil and is fermenting. Conversely, if there is no fragrance at all, it means the pineapple has not yet reached the necessary ripeness.
- Additionally, you should avoid buying pineapples that feel soft and mushy or have bruises, as these are pineapples that have been kept for too long and should not be eaten.
