How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh taro
- Prefer to choose taro that grows in clusters compared to single-root taro.
- Small taro roots are usually sweeter and stickier, have a round or egg-like shape, with rough skin, many roots, and fresh ones often have a lot of dirt stuck to the skin.
- Do not choose taro roots that have many black spots, are rotten, or have long and large shapes.
How to choose fresh and delicious pork bones
- You should choose pieces of pork bone that have both bone, meat, and fat to make the soup sweet, rich, and appealing.
- Choose pieces of pork bone that have a bright light pink color; when you gently press the meat and fat, they should still feel somewhat elastic and not mushy.
- Do not buy pieces of pork bone that look purplish and have an unusual foul smell; these are bones that have been stored for a long time and are no longer fresh.
