How to choose delicious ingredients
How to choose good century eggs
-
You should choose century eggs that still have the outer shell intact.
-
A good century egg will have a shell that is a mix of black and white, resembling salt, and sometimes creating patterns on the surface when you peel off the straw and other materials from the shell.
-
The yolk of the egg usually has a grayish-green, dark green, or cream color. The white is brownish-black and transparent like jelly.
-
Delicious century eggs have a strong, distinctive aroma after being preserved.
-
You should choose clean, reputable production facilities to buy eggs. Avoid purchasing eggs that are expired or spoiled.
- Additionally, to ensure safety, if you have time, you can make century eggs at home using the recipe from TasteVN.
How to choose fresh chicken eggs
- You should choose chicken eggs with a dark brown outer shell, uniform color, without cracks, and no black spots.
- You can feel the surface of the eggshell; if it is rough and slightly dull, then it is a fresh chicken egg.
- Avoid choosing eggs that make a loud noise when gently shaken; they may be spoiled or eggs that are still being incubated. Conversely, if there is no sound, it indicates a fresh chicken egg that should be purchased.
How to choose delicious oatmeal
- You should choose to buy whole oats; they are usually raw grains that are not broken.
- You should buy oats from reputable establishments and well-known brands with trustworthy origins.
How to choose delicious soft tofu
- You should choose soft tofu pieces that have an ivory white color. If there is a yellow tinge or is yellow, it contains gypsum. The yellower the tofu, the more gypsum it has.
- You should choose pieces of tofu that feel light and soft when held.
- Real, pure tofu has a distinct fragrant smell, while tofu containing gypsum has either no smell or a faint lime scent.
- You can make tofu at home with a recipe from TasteVN.
