How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- Preferably choose pieces of beef that are bright red interspersed with white veins and fresh yellow fat.
- When gently pressed with your hand, you will feel the meat is dry, not sticky, and has good elasticity, with a characteristic beef aroma and no unusual odor.
- Avoid choosing pieces of meat that are pale green or dark red, with fat turning dark yellow and appearing white spots on the meat. Because these pieces of meat may be infected.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- When buying tomatoes, you should choose fruits with plump, bright red skin, even color, intact, and without any scratches on the fruit.
- Additionally, you should select fruits with green, fresh stems that are still attached to the top of the fruit; when you smell them, they should have the characteristic mild aroma of tomatoes. This indicates that the fruit was recently harvested, so it will be sweeter and crisper.
- You should avoid fruits with wrinkled skin, those that have dropped their stems, or if you gently press them with your hand and they feel soft or mushy. These are fruits that have been harvested for a long time or are overripe, which will not be tasty or nutritious when cooked.
