How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose clean, safe sweet mustard greens
- Choose leaves that are not torn, have a bright green color, the stems are green and white, and when held, they do not droop. When eaten, they will have the natural sweetness of the vegetables.
- Avoid buying mustard greens with slightly yellowing leaves, wilting, soft to the touch, or with black spots, as they will not taste good.
How to choose fresh river shrimp, not spoiled
- It is advisable to choose live ones that jump around, with a naturally curved back and slightly folded tail.
- Avoid selecting those that are pale in color, have a bloated belly, and feel mushy when picked up as they may have been soaked in chemicals.
