How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh corn
- You should choose corn with intact husks tightly covering the kernels inside.
- Preferably choose ears with bright green husks, not dried out, and with soft and smooth corn silk.
- In terms of shape, avoid choosing very large ears; opt for those that are slender and well-proportioned.
- For this dish, you can choose sticky corn (if you like a chewy texture) or American corn (if you prefer a crunchy and sweet taste), depending on your preference!
How to choose fresh and delicious green onions
- Fresh and delicious green onions usually have dark green, vibrant leaves, not wilted or bruised.
- The bulbs should be intact, and it’s best to choose those with roots still attached, as this will help you keep them longer!
- In addition, you should avoid choosing green onion bunches that are wilted, yellowed, or rotten, especially if they have an unpleasant smell.
