How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh minced pork
- To make delicious minced meat, buy shoulder or belly meat that has a mix of lean and a bit of fat; minced meat will be soft, fatty, not dry like made from lean meat, and not too greasy.
- If buying pre-ground minced meat, choose meat that has a mix of lean and fat, with fresh color, no unpleasant smell, and no excess moisture.
- If you buy meat to grind yourself using a meat grinder, choose meat that has a bright pink color, feels elastic and firm when pressed. The meat should not be dull in color, should have no unpleasant smell, and should not be mushy or watery.
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Fresh, delicious tomatoes are those that have a bright red color, evenly colored, and aesthetically pleasing. At the same time, the skin should be intact, shiny, smooth, plump, and not have many scratches.
- Additionally, you should choose tomatoes that still have fresh green stems, are not wilted, and especially are still tightly attached to the top without being separated.
- Moreover, in terms of aroma, naturally ripened tomatoes will have a light, characteristic fragrance that is very easy to recognize.
How to choose fresh and delicious pork ribs
- Fresh and delicious pork ribs have a pink color and have not changed to any other unusual colors on the surface.
- At the same time, you should choose ribs with flat and small bones as they will have more meat. When pressed, the meat should have good elasticity, not mushy or soft.
- Avoid buying ribs that are too bright pink as they may be ribs that have been soaked in chemicals, which will affect health.
