How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh buffalo meat
- Delicious buffalo meat has a dark red color, looks fresh, with white fat, thick fibers, and when you press the piece of meat, you can feel the firmness and elasticity, indicating it’s fresh meat.
- Do not buy pieces of meat that look dull, soft and mushy, leaking liquid, with a foul smell; this is meat that has been stored for too long and is not good.
- You should also not buy pieces of meat that are too fragmented and cannot be cut across the grain, as that will make the meat very tough after processing.
How to choose fresh papaya
- Good papaya when ripe has yellow skin mixed with tiny green spots, when holding the papaya, it feels firm and heavy; if the stem still has sap oozing out, it means the papaya was just picked and will be fresher and sweeter.
- When cooking stews, you should choose green papayas so that they do not become mushy after cooking.
How to choose delicious winged beans
- Delicious winged beans have a light green color, the pods are of moderate size, and have not formed seeds inside.
- Do not buy if you see winged beans wilting or with black spots. Additionally, beans that are too large, dark green, and have large seeds are old, fibrous, and not tasty.
