How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh goat ribs
- When choosing goat ribs, you should select pieces that are bright red, small and flat, with a thin layer of light brown skin.
- For fresh ribs, when gently pressed, they should be elastic, with soft and smooth meat, and have the strong characteristic smell of goat meat.
- If you choose goat ribs for soup, you should select parts that have both lean meat and fat to create a more fragrant and richer flavor.
- You should avoid buying pieces of ribs that have a strange odor, have dark purple meat, and feel slightly slimy to the touch, as these may be ribs that have been stored for too long and are no longer fresh.
How to choose quality longan
- Quality longan should have a light yellow color, evenly colored, round, with uniform flesh, and feel dry to the touch, not sticky to each other.
- You should not choose longan that is dark in color, dark red, burned, or has reddish tips, as these are very harmful to health.
- If they feel very soft, sticky, and don’t hold their shape when touched, you should not buy them as they may be low-quality longan.
- To purchase quality longan, you should buy from reputable places with clear origins, helping to avoid mistakenly buying low-quality types.
