How to choose fresh delicious tilapia:
- When choosing tilapia, pay attention to the eyes; if the eyes are clear, the fish is fresh and should be purchased.
- Fish that is not fresh will have cloudy eyes, so it should not be bought.
- Press your hand on the body of the fish; if you feel elasticity, the fish is fresh.
- It is best to buy live fish swimming happily in the pond to ensure freshness for the dish.
- Gently lift the gills; if the gills are still pink, the fish is good.
How to choose fresh delicious pork:
- Fresh pork will have a dry film on the outside, and the surface of the cut will tighten up when touched without feeling sticky.
- The fresh meat has a pinkish-red color, soft texture, while the fat is opaque white.
- If you see a piece of meat that is dark red or blackish, do not buy it as it may be pork raised with lean meat additives.
- Avoid purchasing meat that is pale green, dark, or has red skin.
- It is best to choose meat that still feels elastic when pressed and has a characteristic fresh meat smell.
- For this dish, you should choose lean pork shoulder or meat that has both fat and lean.
