How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Choose tomatoes that are bright red, with intact skin, no scratches, and plump.
- Naturally ripened tomatoes often have a faint fragrant smell that you can easily detect when sniffing.
- Tomatoes with stems still fresh and not wilted are fresh tomatoes.
- You should avoid buying shriveled, overripe, rotten, or bruised tomatoes and should not choose tomatoes with bumpy skin, uneven color, or tiny white spots.
How to choose good tofu
- You should choose tofu pieces that feel light in hand, have good elasticity, and are very smooth.
- To buy fresh, pure tofu, you should smell the aroma of the soybeans when purchasing. If you notice the characteristic smell of soybeans and taste a rich flavor, then you should buy it.
- Avoid choosing tofu pieces that have a lime smell as this indicates that the tofu contains impurities; when eaten, it will feel dry, crumbly, and bland.
- You should not choose tofu pieces that are dry, hard, crumbled, or have a sour smell because they may be spoiled tofu.
