How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh bell peppers
- To buy good bell peppers, you should choose those with bright skin, firm, smooth, and evenly colored.
- Choose peppers that feel heavy, firm in hand, with a moderate size, not too big or too small, and with the stem still attached.
- You should not choose bell peppers that feel too soft, have wrinkled skin, show bruises, or signs of being crushed.
How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- To buy fresh and delicious shrimp, you should choose shrimp that have a transparent shell, with the head and body tightly connected.
- Choose fresh shrimp that have their legs and tails gathered together; when touched, they should not feel slimy, and they should smell good like the sea.
- You should avoid buying shrimp with legs and tails spread out, as this often indicates shrimp that have been injected with chemicals.
How to choose fresh mushroom
- To have good mushroom, you need to buy fresh mushrooms, with round caps, short stems, and the mushroom should be white and intact.
- You should not buy mushrooms that have turned off-white and have bruises, as these are mushrooms that have been harvested for a long time and will not be tasty when cooked.
