How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh potatoes
- You should choose potatoes with smooth skin; these will be sweet and nutritious when eaten.
- Fresh potatoes feel firm to the touch; the tuber is hard, not soft due to withering or being left for too long.
- Do not buy potatoes that have sprouted or have turned green as these can be very harmful to health.

How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Choose carrots that are straight, have smooth skin, bright color, and feel firm and heavy in hand.
- Avoid selecting carrots with a thick, large shoulder, as these usually have a big core, are not sweet, and lack nutrients.
- Do not choose misshapen carrots, dark-colored ones, or those that are bruised or have unusual spots.
How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- For whole pieces of pork, first pay attention to the color. The color of good meat is bright pink, not too red or too pale.
- Pork that is firm and has high elasticity is good meat. You can test this by pressing your finger into the meat; if it springs back immediately, is not slimy, and does not leak any water or liquid, it is good.
- You should choose pork with a good balance of lean meat and fat so that your dish does not become dry or overly greasy.
- You can buy pork to grind at home using a meat grinder or ask the seller to grind it for you.
- For pre-ground pork, you should buy from reputable stores or supermarkets, ensuring that the meat is stored in the refrigerator and the packaging is intact to guarantee quality.
