How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken thighs
- Choose chicken thighs with light yellow skin, smooth, firm to the touch, press gently on the meat to feel its elasticity. Additionally, the meat should have a pinkish-red color, without any foul smell or sliminess.
- Avoid chicken thighs that have loose skin and meat or those that are dark, bruised, torn, or have blood clots.
How to choose delicious green pepper
- Delicious green pepper branches will have tightly clustered seeds that do not fall apart.
- Additionally, you need to touch the peppercorns to check if they are firm, and if the pepper is a slightly darker green and shiny; if the peppercorns are quite soft, then the pepper is still immature and lacks the strong spicy flavor.
- Branches of pepper with a rather wrinkled skin indicate that the pepper is immature and has been stored for a long time, causing the moisture in the peppercorns to evaporate, leaving behind wrinkled seeds. These peppercorns will usually not have a strong pepper aroma, and of course, you should not choose them.
