How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose delicious dried squid
- To choose delicious dried squid, you should select those that have a thick white powder layer covering the entire body. When you press your hand on the squid, it should not be sticky or moist; good dried squid must be completely dry and have a characteristic fragrant smell.
- When selecting good squid, choose those with a moderate red color, fresh and not too dark. The head and body must be tightly attached to each other.
- Avoid choosing squid that is too big or too small; instead, pay attention to buying those with as much meat thickness as possible because when grilled, the squid will expand evenly, easily tear apart, and have a rich flavor.
Where to buy chili sauce? How to choose chili sauce that ensures quality
- When choosing chili sauce, you should select one with a moderate spiciness that suits your taste because that way the dish will become tastier.
- Natural chili sauce will have a dark color and a fragrant taste, not a bright, overly fresh color because that is the color that has been chemically altered, affecting health.
- You should choose chili sauce from reputable food brands, with packaging clearly stating the production date and expiration date, avoiding buying indistinct chili sauces of unclear origin.
- You can refer to the way to make chili sauce at home according to TasteVN’s instructions to ensure health.
