How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pumpkin
- Choose pumpkins that are deep orange in color, firm, feel heavy in hand, and are intact without any scratches or moldy spots.
- Choose pumpkins with a concave bottom and less pulp, those with deep yellow or orange flesh.
- If not using immediately, select pumpkins with long stems, avoiding those without stems as they will spoil quickly and not be stored for long.
How to choose fresh and delicious salmon
- It is advisable to choose fresh salmon with bright pink or orange flesh. Do not choose salmon with dark or pale flesh.
- You can press your finger into the flesh of the salmon to check its firmness; if it leaves a dent and then quickly returns to its original state, the salmon is still fresh and should be chosen.
- Choose salmon with a dry surface, not damp or leaking fluids. The fat streaks on the salmon should be uniformly colored, not discolored or have brown spots, and the salmon should not have any unusual or foul odor.
