How to choose fresh pork skin (pig skin)
- Good pork skin should be chosen from the skin under the layer of tenderloin, lean shoulder meat, thick, flat skin pieces, and larger sizes will be easier to prepare. Avoid choosing belly skin as this part lacks firmness, the skin is thin and easily torn, and not crispy and delicious.
- Bright pink skin, elastic, and without a foul smell indicates good pork skin.
How to choose delicious shiitake mushrooms
For dried shiitake mushrooms
You should choose the firm type, not broken, bright color, and without white mold spots. It is advisable to buy from reputable stores to ensure safety.
For fresh shiitake mushrooms
- Choose those with bright colors, a characteristic fragrant smell, moderate caps, tightly closed, and slightly yellow-brown in color.
- Select mushrooms with firm stems, uniform color; if the mushrooms have opened, the gills should appear in a neat, beautiful, and dry chain.
- Avoid choosing mushrooms that are bruised, have a rancid smell, or are slimy. If you see mushrooms that are dark brown, do not buy them, as they may be poisonous.
How to choose dried wood ear mushrooms
- Preferably choose wood ear mushrooms with large, thick caps and few small mushrooms at the base. The color of the mushrooms should be a dark amber, slightly shiny (for the top side) and coffee milk color (for the underside).
- Avoid choosing black wood ear mushrooms that look too dark, as this type may become mushy when soaked in water and is less crispy.
How to choose delicious carrots
- You should choose carrots that are straight in shape, have smooth skin, bright orange color, feel firm and heavy in hand, as these are the delicious ones, rich in vitamins.
- You should buy those with a small core, as the smaller the core, the sweeter the carrot.
- You should not choose carrots that have leaves or branches at the base, or have thick and heavy shoulders, as these are usually carrots with large cores, which are not sweet and have fewer nutrients.
- Do not buy carrots that are misshapen, dark in color, bruised, or have withered leaves.
