How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh snakehead fish
- The freshest snakehead fish are those that are still swimming well, agile, with clear eyes where the pupils can be seen clearly.
- Choose snakehead fish of moderate size, not too big or too small. The fish should be elongated, not too round, and feel firm to the touch, not mushy.
- Avoid buying snakehead fish with pale skin and cloudy eyes, as these are signs that the fish has died and will not taste good.
How to choose delicious fried tofu
- You should choose pieces of fried tofu that are golden yellow, fresh, and feel firm when held.
- Choose tofu pieces that have a natural smoothness, moderate elasticity, and a characteristic soybean aroma, with no smell of plaster.
- Do not choose pieces of tofu that are too crumbly or too mushy and overly fragrant, as this may indicate the presence of additives.
