How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good, safe chicken.
- To save cooking time, you can buy boneless chicken thighs or breasts available at supermarkets.
- Choose pieces of chicken with a dry surface; when pressed, the meat should still retain its elasticity as this indicates fresh, recently slaughtered meat.
- Good chicken will have a light yellow color, bright appearance, and a distinct raw meat smell without any strange odors.
- Avoid buying pieces of meat that are pale white or slightly dark as they may have been chemically treated.
- You should also not purchase chicken that is soft and mushy as it has spoiled and is no longer usable.

How to choose fresh and delicious ginger
- You should buy ginger that is whole, with a strong characteristic ginger aroma when smelled.
- Fresh ginger has a thin, taut skin, feels heavy in hand, and the ginger flesh inside has a bright yellow color.
- Observe the cut surface of the ginger; if it is good ginger, it will have a lot of fibers and clear round patterns.
- Do not buy broken ginger or ginger roots with many strange black spots, dry and withered skin, as this indicates that the ginger has been stored for a long time and is about to spoil.

Prepare the ingredients
After purchasing the chicken, to eliminate the smell, rub the meat with a little salt for about 2 minutes and then rinse it several times with clean water. Cut the meat into thin slices and then mince it.
Effective tips for preparing and eliminating the smell of chicken:
- Method 1: You can wash the chicken with lemon juice or vinegar, kneading the meat for about 2 minutes, then rinse 2 – 3 times with clean water.
- Method 2: After rinsing with clean water, crush a little ginger and rub the chicken with ginger for about 2 minutes, then rinse once more before cooking.
