How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good and safe chicken eggs
- Eggshell: Choose eggs with a thin white powdery layer on the outside, feeling rough or heavy when touched, as these are fresh eggs. If the eggshell is smooth, shiny, or has cracks, it indicates that the eggs have been stored for a long time and are not fresh.
- Candling: When holding the egg under a light, if you see a small air cell, a round yolk that doesn’t move, and a clear egg white with a light orange or pink color, it’s a fresh egg. Conversely, old 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 it lightly; if you hear a noise, it’s an old egg that has been stored for a long time. If you don’t hear anything but feel strong movement, it’s a spoiled egg, indicating that the hen is still incubating.
How to choose delicious fresh longan
- Choose longan varieties with thick flesh and small seeds such as lồng longan, tiêu da bò longan,… for a tastier dish.
- It is advisable to buy longan in clusters, with green leaves, fresh stems, and a bit moist. Additionally, you should choose large fruit that is deep yellow in color and has a pleasant light fragrance.
- To ensure you choose delicious longan, you should try one fruit before buying. When peeling, if the longan has thick and juicy flesh, small seeds, and a sweet fragrance like rock sugar, then it is definitely fresh longan.
