How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients

How to choose good bitter melon (bitter gourd)

  • Good bitter melons are those with tiny veins; such fruits are usually still young and not overripe.
  • If you can hold them, you should choose firm, solid fruits that are not too soft.
  • Avoid choosing bitter melons with scratched, bruised skins or those that have a slightly yellowish color.
See details: How to choose fresh, delicious bitter gourd.

How to choose fresh, non-runny eggs

  • You should choose eggs with a slightly rough shell, where you can feel many tiny dots on the surface when touched.
  • Opt for eggs with a dark brown, uniform surface, without cracks or unusual black spots.
  • Additionally, you can check the freshness of the eggs by shaking them; fresh eggs will not make any noise when shaken.
