How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- When buying beef, you should choose pieces that have a bright red color, feel firm to the touch, are dry, and do not stick to your hand.
- Preferably choose meat from heifers or young cattle for tender and sweet meat, instead of tough meat like that from bulls.
- Do not choose meat that is pale green or dark red, with the meat and fat separating from each other, and feels crumbly and less firm when touched.
How to choose fresh and delicious onions
- Fresh and delicious onions are those bulbs with thin, shiny, evenly colored skin, feeling dry and firm to the touch.
- Avoid buying bulbs that have sprouted, which feel hard in some places and soft in others.
- After purchasing onions, you should store them in a dry, ventilated place and avoid direct sunlight.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Good carrots will usually have a proper harvest size, not too big or too small, and are elongated from the top to the bottom.
- When buying carrots, you should also choose those with bright orange, shiny skin, few roots, and a fresh green top firmly attached to the bulb.
- Avoid buying carrots that look wilted, with cracked skin and bruises, as these have been stored for a long time, have a bland taste, and contain fewer nutrients.
