How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh blood
- Fresh, delicious blood of the day will have a deep, dark color. The darker the blood, the fresher and tastier it is.
- Bright red blood is old blood. Usually, we think bright red blood is fresh, however, red blood is actually old blood.
How to choose delicious minced meat
You can choose to buy whole pieces of pork and ask the seller to grind it for you, or bring it home to grind with a meat grinder to ensure safety and flavor.
- You should observe the overall appearance, choose meat with a balanced ratio of lean and fat, not too much fat, not too much lean so that when ground and cooked it will not be dry.
- First, you must choose fresh meat. The color of good meat is bright pink, not too red or too pale. Pork that is pale, greenish, and has a foul smell is spoiled, so you should not choose this type of meat.
- Pork that is firm and elastic is good meat. You can check by pressing your finger into the meat; if it springs back immediately, is not slimy, and does not leak water or fluids, then it is good.
