How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good and safe chicken
- Choose chicken with thin skin, characteristic shiny yellow color, and moderate size and weight.
- When buying, you should select pieces of chicken that are bright red inside, and feel firm and elastic when touched.
- Do not choose chicken with bruises or unusual odors.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- To choose fresh and delicious tomatoes, you should select those with bright red skin, plump, and the outer skin should not be scratched.
- You should choose tomatoes with a green stem that is firmly attached to the fruit. Gently press with your hand to feel the fruit is slightly firm rather than soft and mushy.
- You should not choose tomatoes with wrinkled skin, soft and mushy fruit, and scratches or bruises. These are tomatoes that have been harvested for a long time and are no longer fresh and delicious.
How to choose ripe and delicious avocados
- Choose avocados with a small, fresh stem, plump skin, and not damaged by insects because these avocados are just ripe and will taste good.
- You should choose avocados that feel firm in your hand, heavy, and when you press gently, the flesh feels slightly soft but firm.
- You should choose green-skinned avocados with small dots on the outside as they will have a higher flesh ratio, and the flesh will be creamy and rich.
- You should not choose avocados with wilted skin, chipped, or soft and mushy when pressed because these might be overripe and not tasty.
How to choose delicious sweet potatoes
- Buy sweet potatoes that are intact, not cracked or chipped. Pick up the sweet potato and feel it is heavy, firm, and not bruised. You should not buy overly large sweet potatoes as they tend to be fibrous; medium-sized sweet potatoes are the best.
- If you want to buy sweet potatoes that are starchy, fragrant, and fluffy, you should choose those with a layer of powder or dirt clinging to them.
- You should not buy sweet potatoes that are black or have pits; this is a sign that the sweet potatoes are spoiled.

Marinate the chicken
Marinate the chicken with 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried Oregano.
Mix well and let it sit for about 5 – 10 minutes for the chicken to absorb the spices.

Pan-fry the chicken
Heat a pan on the stove over medium heat, add 3 teaspoons of olive oil.
When the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken and pan-fry both sides for about 7 minutes until the chicken is cooked and golden on both sides, then remove it to drain the oil.
Tip:- To prevent the chicken from drying out, you should let one side brown for about 3 minutes before flipping to the other side; avoid flipping too many times as the chicken will dry out!
- After pan-frying, let the chicken sit in the pan for an additional 5 – 10 minutes before taking it out; this method also helps keep the chicken moist.
