- For ground pork: You should choose ground pork that has a bright color, with a mix of lean and fatty meat; also, make sure the meat is dry, indicating it is fresh and just ground, do not choose meat that shows signs of being watery.
- For pork bones: When choosing, you should pay attention to check the smell and condition of the bones; good bones will not have a strange odor. The bones should be bright in color, not pale and not cold.
How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- For fresh shrimp: You should choose shrimp with a transparent outer shell that still has a slight smell of seawater. If you see shrimp that are slimy, you should not choose them. Fresh shrimp that are not chemically treated have slightly curved bodies, firm flesh but are not unusually plump.
- For dried shrimp: Delicious dried shrimp typically have a bright red natural color. If dried shrimp are light red or dark red, they have been stored for a long time and cooked before drying, or have been colored with dye. Good dried shrimp are firm, solid, and do not have a strong odor.
