How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp, ensuring quality
- To buy fresh and delicious shrimp, you should choose shrimp that have a transparent shell, with the head and body tightly connected.
- Choose fresh shrimp that have their legs and tails close together, feel firm to the touch without being slimy, and have a pleasant smell of seawater.
- You should not buy shrimp that have legs and tails spread out as these are often shrimp that have been injected with chemicals.
How to choose fresh and safe pork
- To have delicious pork, you should choose pieces that have bright colors, either bright pink or bright red.
- Fresh pork will not have any unusual rotten smell, and when you press lightly with your hand, you will feel good tenderness and elasticity, with the pressed area leaving a dent that returns to its original shape without leaving a mark.
- You should not buy pork that is mushy, feels wet and slimy, as this indicates that the meat has been stored too long or has gone bad and is not usable.
- You should also avoid choosing pork that has tiny white spots appearing on the meat as this may indicate that the pork is infected with parasites.
How to choose fresh, delicious mustard greens
- To buy good mustard greens, you should choose fresh greens with vibrant green leaves that are thin, smooth, intact, and not infested with pests.
- You should select mustard greens that do not have dark spots, rot, wilted leaves, and when held up to the nose, have a slightly pungent characteristic smell.
- You should avoid buying mustard greens that have yellowing leaves, bruised leaves, or many small holes from pest damage as these are greens that are spoiled or do not meet quality standards, and they will not be tasty when cooked.
