How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh and safe sprouts
- Fresh sprouts will have a vibrant green color, looking very fresh and young. The stems are long and thin, usually green or cloudy white.
- One thing to note when using sprouts is that there are many types of sprouts, but not all are edible.
- Some edible sprouts with high nutritional value include sweet mustard sprouts, green mustard sprouts, white radish sprouts, radish sprouts, water spinach sprouts, amaranth, black sesame, sunflower sprouts, and some legume sprouts.
- You should not eat potato sprouts, certain types of melon sprouts, or some sprouts that grow from beans like broad beans, cat beans, chicken beans, or bird egg beans, as they can cause poisoning.
How to choose fresh tomatoes that are not bruised
- About color: Fresh tomatoes will have bright red skin, evenly colored. There are no scratches on the skin. When cut open, the seeds inside are yellow, and the flesh is red.
- About aroma: You can recognize naturally ripened, fresh tomatoes by their mild, characteristic fragrance. Do not buy those without a fragrant smell.
- About the stem: Fresh tomatoes will still have their stems intact and the stems remain fresh. When you gently touch them, if the stem falls off, it may mean that the fruit has been picked for a long time or was not tree-ripened, so it is not advisable to buy.
How to choose good, sweet pineapple
- About color: A good pineapple has an eye-catching yellow color, with some green spots indicating it is ripe and has a certain sweetness. Avoid buying those with a lot of green spots as they are not fully ripe or those with brown spots as they may be spoiled.
- About shape: A good, meaty pineapple will have a slightly rounded, short shape. In particular, you should choose pineapples with as many eyes as possible.
- About fragrance: You can check ripeness by smell. A good, perfectly ripe pineapple will have a sweet fragrance, not too strong. Conversely, an unripe pineapple will not emit any scent, while an overripe pineapple will have a strong odor.

Prepare the ingredients
Bean sprouts need to be thoroughly prepared. First, you must wash the bean sprouts multiple times under the tap water that is running. Next, to clean off dust and dirt, you need to soak the bean sprouts in diluted salt water for about 10 – 15 minutes. After that, rinse with clean water and place them in a basket to drain.
Tomatoes, after purchasing, should be washed thoroughly with water and then cut into wedges using a knife.
The pineapple should be peeled, removing the eyes, then washed clean with water and sliced into bite-sized pieces.
The onion should be peeled, washed with water, and also cut into thin slices.
Note: Since the stems of bean sprouts are very weak and thin, you must be very gentle when washing to avoid bruising the sprouts.
