How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good fish cake
- You should choose fish cake pieces that have a nice brownish-yellow color and do not feel slimy when touched.
- To find fish cake, you can visit traditional markets, supermarkets, or convenience stores.
- Additionally, to ensure quality, you can also make fish cake at home following TasteVN’s instructions.
How to choose fresh and delicious lemongrass safely
- You should choose lemongrass stalks that are tightly bundled together, with beautiful green leaves and a distinctive fragrant smell of lemongrass.
- Avoid choosing lemongrass stalks that are bruised, with dry or wilted leaves, or any stalks that have turned pale yellow, as they are no longer fresh, which will not ensure the flavor of the dish when cooked.
