How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- You should choose beef that is bright red and has bright yellow fat; when you gently press the piece of meat with your hand, it should have good elasticity and not have an unpleasant odor.
- Good beef will have tender fibers and not be too fine. You should not buy beef that has a pale green or dark red color and feels slimy to the touch, as that indicates beef that is about to spoil and is not fresh.
- If you see the meat has small white cysts that easily detach, it is very likely that the meat contains parasites, so it should not be purchased.
How to choose fresh, quality eggs
- Fresh, delicious, and quality eggs will usually have a shiny outer shell, not rough or displaying any unusual tiny spots on the surface.
- Additionally, when held, the egg should feel noticeably firm, not too light. At the same time, when shaken, no sound should be heard.
- It is advisable to avoid buying eggs with cracked or heavily damaged shells, or those leaking unusual fluids, as these are spoiled eggs and should not be eaten.
How to choose fresh, undamaged tomatoes
- Choose tomatoes with a smooth, shiny skin, bright red, and uniform color, as these are usually ripe and juicy.
- Tomatoes with green stems still attached to the top are typically freshly picked, making them sweeter and crunchier when eaten.
- Avoid selecting tomatoes with wrinkled skin or those that feel soft and mushy when gently pressed, as these have been harvested for a while or are overripe.
How to choose fresh, delicious lettuce
- Choose lettuce with tightly wrapped leaves, fresh green outer leaves, and slightly curled edges.
- Fresh, drug-free lettuce generally has green outer leaves, with the inner layers gradually turning pale green or white. When touched, the leaves should feel smooth and have a mild, pleasant aroma.
- Additionally, avoid purchasing lettuce with bruises or those with many black spots, as these indicate they have been stored for too long and are no longer fresh.

Prepare the ingredients
Wash the beef and cut it into thin slices, wash the tomatoes and slice them thinly. Wash the lettuce several times with water and then place it in a basket to drain.
Peel and thinly slice the onion, then soak it in water with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to eliminate the pungent smell. Boil the eggs, peel them, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
How to clean the beef without odor- You should use a clean cloth to dab a little water and wipe the beef to prevent it from losing its quality.
- Alternatively, you can roast a piece of ginger until cooked, then pound it finely, rub it over the beef, and rinse it with clean water to significantly reduce the smell.
- Do not use lemon or vinegar to wash or wash the meat too thoroughly as it will lose the nutrients in the meat.
