How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork
- To ensure the quality of the pork, you can buy whole pieces to grind with a meat grinder or select the meat and ask the seller to grind it for you.
- Fresh pork will have a dry membrane on the outside, and the cut surface should feel firm to the touch without being sticky.
- The fresh meat has a pinkish-red color, while the fat is cloudy white.
- Choose meat that feels elastic when pressed, and has a characteristic fresh meat smell.
- For this soup, you should choose lean meat or meat with a bit of fat to avoid being greasy when eating.
- If you see the meat has a dark red color, do not buy it as it may be pork raised with lean-enhancing substances, which is not advisable to purchase.
How to choose fresh and delicious pennywort
- Choose pennywort plants with small leaves, dark green color, and short stems for a more intense and delicious flavor compared to those with large leaves and long stems.
- It is best to buy pennywort with intact leaves and stems, and when smelling, it should have the characteristic scent of pennywort.
- Do not buy plants that are pale in color or have bruised or rotten leaves.
