Tips for choosing delicious Romaine lettuce
- It is advisable to buy lettuce with thick leaves, large heads, vibrant green color, that feels firm when held, and if the outer leaves still have some sap, then it is good lettuce and should be purchased.
- You should not buy lettuce that has small holes from snail bites, or has an unusual white stem. It is likely that the lettuce has been cut for a long time, wilted, or has had the wilted outer leaves removed.
Tips for buying and using Parmesan cheese correctly
- You can find Parmesan cheese at supermarkets or baking ingredient stores priced around 400,000 – 500,000 VND per block of about 3.5kg.
- To preserve the flavor, you should buy Parmesan in a block form, and when eating directly or using it for cooking, you can grate it, shred it, slice it, or crumble it.
Tips for choosing good bread
You should choose bread that has a crispy crust, is not damp or soggy. You can also substitute with sandwich bread if desired.
Tips for buying good Worcestershire sauce
- Worcestershire sauce is a condiment from Lea & Perrins, made with vinegar and a variety of spices. The Worcestershire sauce has a sweet and sour, spicy flavor, and a dark brown color, used in salads, marinating meats, sandwiches, and in various recipes.
- You can find Worcestershire sauce at supermarkets or e-commerce sites priced from 90,000 – 100,000 VND for a 290ml bottle.
