How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- Choose fresh shrimp with a transparent shell, uniform color, the head and body of the shrimp are tightly attached, and they should smell like seawater.
- Additionally, fresh shrimp usually have the tail tightly curled, and the joints of the shell on the shrimp’s body are flexible, not detached.
- Avoid buying shrimp that are slimy, with blackened legs that are no longer tightly attached to the body or have an unusual foul smell.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Fresh and delicious carrots will have a characteristic deep orange color, bright color, smooth skin, not cracked, and feel firm in hand.
- When buying, you should choose carrots with fresh green tops, not bruised or wilted.
- Avoid buying those with rotten tops and bent bodies, or skins that are bruised or scratched, as these are old carrots and no longer fresh.
How to choose fresh, quality chicken eggs
- Fresh and delicious chicken eggs are those with uniformly colored shells and a slightly rough surface.
- When buying, you should hold the egg close to your ear and shake it lightly; if you don’t hear any noise, it is a fresh egg. Old eggs will make a sound, and the louder the sound, the longer the egg has been kept.
- Do not buy old chicken eggs that are too shiny and have pale-colored shells.
