How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef tail
- You should choose beef tails with bright red meat, bright yellow fat, and white tendons. Avoid beef tails with dark red meat and an unpleasant smell.
- Do not buy beef tails if they feel soft when pressed, indicating the meat is sinking. A good beef tail will feel firm when pressed, have good elasticity, and no foul smell.
How to choose fresh radishes
- Prioritize buying white radishes of moderate size, elongated shape towards the tail. Radishes with a thick tail often have a bland taste and are not enjoyable to eat.
- In addition, good, freshly harvested radishes will still have their stalks and roots intact, feel firm to the touch, and have a certain hardness when squeezed lightly.
- Avoid radishes with wilted stalks but still have a shiny skin, as these radishes have been injected with preservatives, which are not good for consumption.
