How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good pig intestines
- When choosing pig intestines, observe and select those with an off-white or light yellow color, without bruises or blood clots, and no foul smell.
- Gently touch the intestines to feel the firmness, choose those with thick walls, that are not slimy, and have no hard parts inside.
How to choose good shiitake mushrooms
For dried shiitake mushrooms
- Choose mushrooms that are not broken and have a light brown cap (essentially showing little color change when dried).
- Pay attention to ensure there’s no musty smell or strange odors, and that the mushrooms do not have any white mold spots.
For fresh shiitake mushrooms
- Fresh shiitake mushrooms look like an umbrella, and should not be bruised. You should choose mushrooms of moderate size, with short stems, tightly closed caps, and a slightly yellow-brown color.
- Avoid selecting dark brown caps as they may be poisonous, but you should be flexible in your choices since generally, ripe shiitake mushrooms can also be a dark brown color.
- Pay attention to the characteristic, natural aroma of the mushrooms.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
-
Fresh and delicious carrots should have a moderate size, a straight and elongated shape towards the tail, a smooth skin, feel firm in hand, and be slightly hard.
-
Choose carrots that are bright, deep orange in color, with fresh green tops tightly attached to the root.
-
Avoid carrots with wilted tops, bruised bodies, slimy parts, dark spots, or that feel soft when pressed.
-
Do not choose overly large carrots with thick tops and shoulders, as these are older carrots that will have more fibers and fewer nutrients.
