How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- When buying beef, choose pieces that are bright red, with clear marbling, and light yellow fat that is not too dark.
- When pressing on the meat, you should feel its elasticity and firmness.
- Do not buy meat that is pale green, soft, has a foul smell, or has round white spots in the meat fibers.
How to choose safe, quality cabbage
- Fresh, delicious cabbage will have a shiny color and a round shape. You should avoid buying cabbages that are flat or oval-shaped as these are spongy and not firm.
- You should choose cabbages that are a slightly dark green; if the cabbage is purple, it should be a deep purple color, and choose cabbages that feel heavy and firm.
- Avoid selecting cabbages that have blackish-brown spots on their bodies or are bruised, as these cabbages have been stored for too long and are no longer crisp and fresh.
