How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh gourds
- When buying gourds, you should choose those with a thick stem, fresh sap marks, straight shape, soft fuzz, and feel heavy in hand. These are young gourds that have just been harvested, so cooking them will yield a sweet and tender soup.
- Additionally, good gourds will have a light green skin, and when you press your fingernail against it, it feels very soft.
- Avoid purchasing large gourds that feel light and lack fuzz. This is because these are old gourds that will taste sour and not be enjoyable.
How to choose fresh, quality chicken eggs
- To purchase fresh and quality chicken eggs, you should select those with dark brown shells, uniform color, no cracks, and no black spots.
- Moreover, when buying, you can use your hand to feel the surface of the eggshell to check before buying. If the surface feels bumpy and slightly rough, then those are fresh chicken eggs. Conversely, if it feels smooth, then the eggs are old and not tasty.
- Do not buy eggs that make a loud noise when gently shaken and held close to your ear, as these eggs may be spoiled or are being incubated by a hen, and cannot be used for this soup dish.
