How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork
- Prioritize choosing pieces of meat that are bright pink, not too red and not too pale. Conversely, do not buy pieces of meat with unusual colors, turning green and having a foul smell because that meat may have gone bad or has been treated with chemicals.
- Choose pork that is firm and has high elasticity. You can check by pressing your finger into the meat; if the meat bounces back immediately, has no sliminess, and does not leak water or fluid, then that is good quality meat.
- When making stir-fried dishes, you should choose pork belly, shoulder meat, or tenderloin to ensure the meat is softer and more delicious, so it won’t be dry or greasy.
- You should not buy meat that has a dull color, is not fresh, feels slimy when touched, has dark and crumbly fat, or has a very unpleasant, fishy odor because this meat has been left out for too long and has spoiled.
How to choose fresh pineapple
- You should choose fruits that are bright yellow from the stem to the tail, have a round shape, large and sparse eyes, and have a fragrant smell because this is naturally ripe pineapple, which is sweeter.
- Good, fresh pineapple will not be too hard or too soft; when you press your finger into it, there should be no feeling of indentation.
- Additionally, do not choose fruits that have a slightly sour smell like fermentation, with dry tips or brown color because that pineapple is overripe and no longer tasty.
