How to choose fresh, delicious, safe pork
- You should choose fresh pork pieces that are bright red, have a good amount of interspersed fat, and have the characteristic aroma of pork.
- In addition, prioritize selecting pieces of meat that feel firm and have good elasticity when touched, and feel solid when picked up.
- Do not buy pieces that are pale white, darkened, and have a slimy yellow surface; if they smell unpleasant, avoid them.
How to choose fresh, clean chicken eggs
- You should choose fresh chicken eggs with a dark brown shell, even color, no cracks, and no black spots.
- You can use your hand to feel the surface of the eggshell; if the surface is rough and slightly gritty, it is a fresh egg.
- Avoid buying eggs with a smooth surface as these are eggs that have been stored for a while.
Tips for successful preparation
- To make fried rice fluffier and tastier, you should use cold rice for frying. If using sticky rice, add a little oil when cooking so that the rice grains expand and become fluffy when cooked.
- If using freshly cooked rice, the rice for frying should be a new type, long grain, fluffy, soft, and fragrant.
- Do not use too much oil when frying as it will make the rice greasy, heavy, and difficult to digest.
