How to select fresh ingredients

How to choose fresh pork belly

  • You should choose pieces of meat where the fat and meat are tightly adhered to each other, with a balanced ratio of fat to meat to help make the dish tastier.
  • Good pieces of meat will have a layer of skin about 1/2 finger length; do not choose pieces with too thick skin, as the meat will be tough and not delicious.
  • Choose pieces of meat that are pink or light red, have good elasticity when touched, and have a dry surface, which usually ensures better quality.
  • Avoid choosing meat that has unusual colors, such as bluish-purple or yellowish, that feels soft and mushy or too hard when touched, and has a pungent smell that is unpleasant.

How to choose fresh and delicious tuna

  • Choose fresh fish with clear eyes, seeing the pupils inside, and bright red gills.
  • Press lightly on the belly of the fish; if the flesh is firm and does not sink, the fish is still fresh.
  • For frozen tuna, when buying, you need to carefully check the expiration date and origin to avoid purchasing low-quality fish.

How to choose fresh and delicious pineapple

  • Color: You should choose those that are bright yellow from the stem to the tail; there may be a few eyes that are slightly green, but it still has a certain sweetness.
  • Shape: Pineapples that are round and short will have more flesh than those that are long.
  • Pineapple eyes: Choose those with large, sparse eyes, as this indicates that the pineapple is mature and naturally ripe, not soaked in chemicals.
  • Fragrance: You can try smelling the end of the fruit; if it has a fragrant scent, you should buy it. Additionally, avoid those that have a slightly sour smell like fermentation, as those pineapples are overripe.
  • Touch: Good, fresh pineapples will not be too hard or too soft; when you press your finger into them, you should not feel any indentations.
