How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh eggplants
- Choose eggplants that have smooth skin, bright and even color, with a fresh calyx tightly attached to the fruit.
- Choose those that feel firm when held, not soft. When you press lightly with your finger on the skin of the eggplant, if it leaves an imprint on the surface, the eggplant is ripe.
- Avoid choosing those with wrinkled skin or many dark spots on the skin. If the skin color is pinkish purple or light purple, and the skin feels a bit hard, it is also not advisable to buy as it is overripe.

How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- For whole pieces of pork, first you should pay attention to the color. The color of good pork is bright pink, not too red and not too pale.
- Pork that is firm and has high elasticity is good meat. You can test this by pressing your finger into the meat; if it springs back immediately, is not slimy, and does not leak water or juice, then it’s good.
- You should choose lean pork with a balance of lean and fat so that your dish is neither dry nor too greasy due to excess fat.
- You can buy pork to grind at home using a meat grinder or buy it and ask the seller to grind it for you.
- For pre-ground pork, you should buy it from reputable stores or supermarkets; when purchasing, the meat must be stored in the cool section, and the packaging should be intact to ensure quality.
