How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- You should choose shrimp that have a translucent shell, feel firm to the touch, and where the head and body are tightly connected.
- If possible, you can touch the shrimp; choose ones that feel solid in your hand, with the shell not soft or slimy.
- Additionally, you should check the tail and legs of the shrimp; fresh shrimp have tails and legs that are tucked in; if they are splayed out, they may have been injected with chemicals to expand.
- You should also not buy shrimp that have an unusual fishy smell, where the head and legs are no longer firmly attached to the body, or that show strange coloring on the body.
How to choose fresh carrots
- You should choose carrots that are proportionate, with the top thick and tapering down to the tail.
- The skin should be bright orange, shiny, and free of unusual tiny black spots.
- Fresh carrots are ones with the greens still tightly attached to the body, with the leaves still bright green and not wilted.
- You should not buy carrots that have wrinkled skin, have many scratches, or feel soft when held.
How to choose fresh and delicious green beans (string beans)
- You should choose green beans with bright green stems and shiny skin; when you break them, they should be crispy and easy to snap.
- Delicious green beans usually have a long, slender shape, flat without bumps; you should avoid buying those with many protrusions, as they are usually old.
- Limit purchasing beans with uneven skin color and many unusual black spots.
How to choose fresh and delicious chicken eggs
- You should choose eggs with rough shells that feel grainy when touched.
- Additionally, you can check by shaking them; fresh eggs will not make any sound when shaken, whereas the louder the sound, the older the egg.
- Hold the egg up to the light; you will see the yolk and egg white very clearly, with a very small air space at the top, and the inside of the egg should be clear without any dark spots.
- Pick up the egg and shake it gently; if there is no sound, it is fresh. Conversely, the louder the sound, the more likely the egg is either spoiled or in the process of being incubated.
