How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose delicious tofu – fragrant white tofu
- You should choose pieces of tofu that are off-white, light to the touch, and smooth. If they feel heavy, firm, slightly hard, and too square, you should skip them.
- Pure tofu, without gypsum, often has a distinctive aroma, while tofu containing gypsum will have a faint smell of lime and will taste bland, dry, and spongy when eaten.
- Avoid purchasing tofu that is yellowish as it may contain a lot of gypsum and has been stored for too long, losing its freshness.
- Additionally, to save costs and ensure you get quality tofu, you can also make it at home using the recipe shared below by TasteVN!
How to choose delicious and quality salted egg yolks
- You should select salted eggs that are a beautiful orange-yellow color, not too large, with no cracks on the surface, and no mold spots. When shaken gently, you should feel a little water inside the egg.
- Avoid choosing eggs that smell rotten when cracked, have cloudy whites, and shriveled yolks with unusual colors.
- You can buy salted eggs at reputable stores, supermarkets, and markets. To ensure better hygiene, you can also make salted eggs at home using the recipe shared by TasteVN.
