How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh and safe shrimp
- You should choose live shrimp that are moving, with their tails curled down. The head should be firmly attached to the body, and the back of the shrimp should be slightly curved, not upright.
- In addition, fresh shrimp will have a natural river smell, without any unusual or no smell.
- Avoid buying shrimp with straight bodies, whose segments on the shell are expanded and show signs of swelling in the abdomen and back. Because these shrimp may have been soaked in chemicals.
- Furthermore, you should not choose shrimp that are pale in color, uneven, and with tails fanned out like a fan. These shrimp are spoiled and no longer tasty.
How to choose fresh and delicious water mimosa
- Choose water mimosa with dark green, fresh, glossy leaves.
- The stem should be fat, crispy, and tender, not hard, with a translucent and juicy appearance.
- Avoid choosing water mimosa that has flowered, has old yellowing leaves, or is bruised and wilted, as the hard stems will not taste good.
