How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh taro
- Choose taro roots with dark skin; the darker, the better, as these are older, firmer, and have a dense and chewy flesh, not spongy.
- Good taro has an elongated shape and symmetrical size. You can press the taro root; if it feels hard, it’s chewy and delicious.
- Avoid buying soft, oversized, misshapen, bruised, or damaged taro roots that have an unusual smell or leakage.

How to choose and buy fresh delicious pork
- You can choose to buy whole pieces of pork and ask the seller to grind it for you or bring it home to grind with a meat grinder to ensure safety and deliciousness.
- You should observe the overall appearance, choosing pork with a balanced ratio of lean meat and fat, not too much fat, not too much lean meat, so that it won’t be dry when cooked or ground.
- Pork that is firm and elastic is good quality. You can test by pressing your finger into the meat; if it springs back immediately, is not slimy, and does not leak water or juices, then it’s good.
- Prioritize buying pieces of meat that have a bright pink color, not too red nor too pale. Pork that is pale, greenish, and has a foul smell is spoiled, so you should avoid this type of meat.
