How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken
- For processed chicken: It is advisable to buy chicken with bright skin color, the meat should be a fresh pink, and when pressed lightly, it should feel firm and elastic. Do not buy pieces of chicken that are dull in color, soft and mushy, leaking fluid, or have a foul smell, as these are stale and not good.
- For live chickens: Choose chickens with shiny feathers, looking healthy, moving actively, with a bright red comb that is not bruised or purple. Do not buy chickens with ruffled feathers, looking lethargic, with a runny nose and beak, or with a foul smell.
How to choose fresh young mustard greens
- You should buy mustard greens that are bright green in color, thick leaves, feel heavy in hand, soft leaves but with crunchy stems that are easy to break; these are young greens that will be softer and sweeter when eaten.
- You should not buy greens with yellowing leaves, signs of insect damage, or greens that have bolted, as these are older greens that will be tough and bitter.
