How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh cobia fish
- You should choose wild cobia over farmed cobia because wild cobia has a more delicious flavor, will be fresher and less fishy.
- For whole cobia, choose those with bright, clear eyes; gills that are still red; firm and elastic flesh; the fish should not have a slimy coating; skin color should be bright.
- For sliced cobia, ensure the meat is firm, not mushy. The ridges on the fish meat should be prominent and the slices should not turn brown or have an unpleasant smell.
How to choose fresh sour leaves
- You should choose bunches of sour leaves that are bright green, intact leaves, and when tasted, have a characteristic tangy flavor.
- Freshly picked sour leaves will still have a little white sap at the stem, so pay attention to this point.
- Do not buy sour leaves that are too dark green as they are old, which will not taste good when cooked.
- Leaves with unusual yellow or black spots, or wilting leaves should also be avoided as these leaves have been stored for too long and are about to spoil.
How to choose delicious tomatoes
- You should choose tomatoes that have bright red skin, are plump because they are naturally ripe tomatoes.
- When touched, you can feel a certain softness of the tomato, and when held, it feels firm.
- Do not choose tomatoes that are dark, with hard skin because they are chemically treated or force-ripened.
- Avoid choosing tomatoes that feel too soft when touched, with wrinkled skin that is no longer smooth because they are old tomatoes, kept for a long time.
