How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh and delicious mushrooms
- When buying, you should prioritize selecting mushrooms that have just been harvested, with little dirt on the stems, which are usually sold at traditional markets.
- Choose mushrooms that have a characteristic fragrant smell, are not bruised, leaking, or mushy when touched.
- Do not buy mushrooms that have a strange smell or yellow color, as these mushrooms are spoiled and cannot be used.
- To make the dish more appealing and delicious, you can use any type of mushroom that you and your family love, such as: reishi mushroom, chicken leg mushroom, oyster mushroom,…
How to choose good tofu, without gypsum
- Good tofu without gypsum will have an ivory white color, when held, it feels light, smooth, and has a delicious soybean smell.
- Do not choose tofu pieces that show signs of yellowing, feel heavy when held, and have a lime smell because these pieces of tofu may contain added gypsum, which is not good for health.
- To ensure safety, you should buy tofu from reputable tofu production shops or you can make tofu at home with simple instructions from TasteVN.
How to choose fresh and delicious vegetarian sausage
- It is best to buy from reputable food stores to ensure the origin, quality, and ingredient composition.
- When buying, pay attention to the expiration date and the ingredient list of the sausage to ensure that you are purchasing quality vegetarian sausage.
- Additionally, you can also make vegetarian sausage at home to ensure food safety with guidance from TasteVN.
