How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh lobster
- You should choose live, healthy lobsters with a hard, shiny shell and a translucent green color.
- Lobsters with tightly joined joints between the head and body are freshly dead; their meat is still fresh and delicious.
- Avoid choosing lobsters with thin, fragile claws and legs that can easily break off.
- If you touch lobsters that are slimy or have a foul smell, you should not choose them as they are lobsters that have been dead for a long time and should not be purchased.
How to choose delicious and quality mung beans
- To save time in preparation, you should choose the pre-peeled type, which has a beautiful yellow color, with firm beans that are not infested and have the characteristic aroma of mung beans.
- If you buy mung beans with the skin intact, choose those that are plump, evenly sized, and free from pests or being flat.
