How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh oysters with plenty of meat
- Oyster shell: Choose oysters with a tightly closed apex and shell. This ensures that the oyster has plenty of meat and retains the seawater inside.
- Oyster meat: When opening the shell, if the oyster meat clings tightly and fills the shell, containing plenty of seawater, it is a good oyster.
- Tap the oyster shell with your hand; if you don’t hear any sound, the oyster has died, it is no longer fresh.
- Avoid buying oysters that you can easily detach the shell, as most of these are dead oysters. Do not choose oysters with roe as the meat will taste bitter and not delicious.
- If buying shucked oysters, press them to check if the meat is still firm. It is best to buy those packaged in vacuum bags with a clear expiration date.
How to choose fresh, quality eggs
- Egg shell: Choose eggs with a thin white powdery layer on the outside; they feel rough or heavy when touched, as these are fresh eggs. If the egg shell is smooth and shiny or has cracks, it indicates the egg has been stored for a long time and is not good.
- Light test: When shining a light on the egg, if you see a small air cell, a round yolk that does not move, and clear egg white with an orange-red or pale pink color, it is a fresh egg. Conversely, older eggs will have a red color with many moving veins surrounding a large air cell.
- Shake gently: Hold the egg up to your ear and shake gently; if you hear noise, it is an old egg stored for a long time. If there is no sound and you feel strong movement, it indicates a spoiled egg that is in the process of hatching,…
