How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh cucumbers
- Fresh cucumbers are those that have a bright green color, distinctly even color, look smooth and shiny, and especially do not have any rough or unusual tiny spots on the surface. Additionally, a cucumber that is crunchy and sweet usually has a short and round shape.
- At the same time, a delicious cucumber should feel firm and solid when held, have a straight shape, and be less bent. When touched lightly, it should not feel too hard but have a moderately soft sensation.
- Moreover, you should avoid buying cucumbers that have swollen stems or show signs of bruising, damage, or have turned yellow as these are cucumbers that have been stored for a long time and will not taste as good as fresh ones.

How to choose fresh chicken cartilage
- You should choose chicken cartilage that has meat attached around it with a natural pink-red color, not too pale or too dark. Especially, the chicken meat should not have any bruises or blood clots.
- Delicious chicken cartilage is usually found near the chicken breast, with tender white cartilage not attached to hard bones.
- If buying pre-packaged cartilage, you should carefully check the expiration date. Avoid choosing chicken cartilage that is slimy or has a foul smell as these could be old or spoiled cartilage.

- Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes and then rinse it off with water.
Wash the cucumber in diluted salt water for 15 minutes, then take it out and wash it again with clean water. Use a knife to cut off both ends of the cucumber, then use a grater to shred it into long thin strips.
