How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh and delicious oysters
- Choose oysters that have tightly closed shells to ensure there is plenty of meat inside.
- To check the oyster meat, open the shell; if the meat clings tightly and fills the shell, it is fat and tastier.
- You can find whole oysters at the market or buy oyster meat at supermarkets.
- Avoid buying pre-shucked oysters that have an unusual smell or are slimy.
How to choose fresh and delicious dọc mùng (water morning glory)
- When buying, you should choose dọc mùng that are of moderate size, not too big and not too small.
- Additionally, you should choose those that have a red spot in the middle of the leaf stem. If the spot is white, it may cause itching when eaten.
- Do not buy dọc mùng that has been peeled, pre-cut, and shows bruises or blemishes on the cut.
