How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken breast
- Choose chicken meat that has a naturally light pink color; if the meat has bruises, unusual blood spots, or is pale and dark in color, you should not buy it.
- If you choose packaged and pre-processed chicken breast, you should carefully check the production information and expiration date on the packaging.
- To ensure quality, you can choose to buy chicken breast at large markets, supermarkets, or reputable food stores. Additionally, you can find chicken breast at TasteVN supermarkets or buy online at bachhoaxanh.com.
How to choose clean, standard lettuce
- Fresh, clean standard lettuce has leaves that are bright green, slightly curled, and the leaves are still tightly wrapped together.
- Choose those that are green on the outside, while the inner layers will be greenish-white, gradually fading. When touched, the leaves feel smooth and have a characteristic mild aroma.
- Avoid choosing lettuce with bruises or leaves that have many black spots, as this indicates that the lettuce has been stored for a long time and is no longer fresh.
