How to choose fresh and delicious pork hearts
- Fresh pork hearts are those that have a dark red color, a smooth and shiny surface, and a thin membrane tightly attached to the heart muscle. When pressed with your hand, the heart has a certain elasticity and the blood is still fresh.
- Do not buy hearts that are soft and mushy, with yellowish fluid between the heart membrane and the heart muscle, with a foul odor or the smell of Chinese medicine. Hearts that are darkened, pale in color, and have bruising on the surface. These are hearts that have been stored for a long time or from pigs that died of disease.
How to choose good green beans, uniform seeds
- Good green beans are those with a light yellow color, shiny, plump, and uniform seeds, with a natural aroma of green beans.
- You should choose green beans that taste nutty and have a light characteristic fragrance of green beans; when pressed with your hand, the beans should break into small pieces and not be hard or dry.
- Do not buy green beans that have broken or chipped seeds, uneven sizes, or that have weevils. These are low-quality green beans that have been mixed in.
