How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Ingredients
How to choose good taro, not fibrous
- Good taro tubers are usually round or egg-shaped. The skin will be slightly rough and have many roots. You should choose tubers that are still covered in soil as these are often fresh taro.
- Moreover, you should choose tubers of moderate size, avoiding those with unusual shapes, long, or large as they may be a mix of other types of taro.
- Avoid buying tubers that have dark spots, bruised or rotten parts. These tubers are often spoiled and won’t taste good when eaten.
How to choose fresh and delicious pork ribs
- You should choose ribs that are firm to the touch, with a dry and smooth surface, and have a distinct smell.
- Fresh and delicious ribs will have bright red meat, neither too pale nor too dark. Especially, the ribs should not have a foul smell, should not leak fluid, and should not have bruises.
- You should not choose ribs that are too small. Small ribs usually come from small pigs, and the meat will not be of good quality due to being slaughtered early or due to disease.
How to choose delicious starfruit
- Delicious starfruit is either slightly immature or just starting to ripen, not too old or too immature, and especially not infested with worms.
- To buy tasty fruit, you should choose medium-sized starfruit. These are the fruits with a slightly rough skin, thick flesh, and plenty of sour meat.
- You should not choose fruits with shiny skin, as these are still too immature and will not have a good taste or last long. You should also not buy overly ripe starfruit as they contain large seeds, little flesh, and are less sour.
