How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose delicious, quality salmon roe
- You should choose salmon roe that is still fresh, intact, and not broken.
- If possible to taste, you should choose salmon roe that is lightly salted, as lightly salted roe will preserve its flavor and nutritional value.
- At the same time, you should buy salmon roe from reputable sources such as supermarkets, specialized Japanese stores, etc., and packaged to standards with clear origin.
How to choose fresh salmon
- To select fresh salmon fillets, you should observe the color of the fish piece, choosing those that are bright pink or orange, and avoiding those that are dark or turning brownish-black as they may be close to spoiling.
- Fresh pieces are those with a dry surface, not slimy or leaking yellow fluid, and do not have an unpleasant odor when smelled.
- At the same time, you can also check by pressing with your hand; if the flesh returns to its original state when you lift your hand, the fish has good elasticity and is fresh, and you should buy it.
How to choose delicious pumpkin
- A good pumpkin usually has a yellow-orange color mixed with dark green, with yellow flesh, a sweet, fragrant taste, and relatively chewy texture.
- Choose heavy, firm pumpkins with smooth skin.
- Select pumpkins with a stem length of 2 – 5cm. Those with short stems often spoil faster.
- Choose round-shaped pumpkins with naturally cut grooves into relatively even sections.

Prepare the ingredients
To eliminate the fishy smell of salmon, you can soak the salmon in about 100ml of unsweetened fresh milk for about 10 minutes, then take it out, wash it clean with water, and let it drain.
After the salmon has drained, cut it into small cubes.
How to clean salmon effectively, without fishy smell
- Besides soaking it in fresh milk, you can also remove the fishy smell of salmon by soaking it in a mixture of lemon juice, salt, and water. Soak the fish for about 1 minute, then take it out and rinse it clean.
- Alternatively, you can soak the fish in a mixture of alcohol and ginger for 7 – 10 minutes, then take it out, rinse it under water, and let it drain. This is also an effective way to eliminate the fishy smell of salmon.
