How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good roasted veal
- Fresh and delicious roasted veal will have a bright red color, without tiny spots on the surface. At the same time, when pressed, the meat feels firm and has good elasticity, not mushy.
- Additionally, when touching the meat, it should not feel cold, and when smelling, roasted veal has a characteristic scent, but it should not be overly fishy or pungent.
- Moreover, avoid buying veal that has unusual colors, bruises, or has become slimy as that indicates the meat has been stored for too long and is no longer good.
How to choose fresh banana flower
- Fresh banana flower has an outer layer with a very eye-catching dark red color, fresh and particularly, you will see a thin layer of white powder covering the outside.
- Additionally, when holding it, you should feel the firmness and weight, and inside it feels hollow and spongy.
- Especially, you should limit buying banana flowers that are too bruised and have strange spots on the surface.
