How to Choose Fresh Ingredients

How to choose fresh potatoes

To buy fresh potatoes, choose those that feel firm, are heavy, have smooth skin, are intact, with no spots, rot, dark eyes on the skin, and are not rotten with liquid oozing out.
Do not buy potatoes with wrinkled skin, if pressed the skin feels soft, most of these are old and have been stored for a long time, wilted, lacking nutrients inside, and have a bland taste.
Especially do not buy potatoes that have sprouted, as they will produce many toxins, posing health risks.

How to choose fresh and delicious pork

To buy fresh and delicious pork, you should choose pieces of meat that are dry, not slimy, have a normal smell and color, and are firm with high elasticity.
You should avoid buying pork that looks quite appealing but is dry, has a tough texture, feels non-sticky to the touch, is mushy inside when cut, has an odor, and does not bounce back when pressed with a finger.
You can buy it and grind it yourself with a blender, or choose good pieces of meat and ask the seller to grind it for you, as it is difficult to check the quality of pre-ground meat.

How to make Potato Meatball Soup

1

Steam and mash the potatoes

Mix and knead the dough

Add 100g of glutinous rice flour into the potato bowl, mix it well together.
