How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good quality chicken
For live chicken
- When choosing live chicken, you should select those that move actively, have smooth and shiny feathers.
- Avoid choosing chickens that look sluggish, with tails slightly drooping and feathers on the head standing up, and feathers showing signs of being slightly damp.
- Additionally, chickens with legs showing bruises, swelling, or sometimes changing to unusual colors and combs that are pale purple or blackened should also not be chosen.
For pre-processed chicken
- You should choose chickens weighing about 1.5 – 2kg, with a compact and firm body, and not too large a breast.
- When buying chicken, you can gently touch the piece of chicken; if it is highly elastic, then it is good chicken. Additionally, fresh chicken is reflected in the bright pink color of the skin and has no bruises or blood clots.
- Avoid choosing pre-processed chickens that have dull colors or have turned dark gray as these are often chickens that died before being processed.
How to choose delicious green pepper
- You should choose green pepper branches with tightly clustered seeds that do not fall apart or separate into individual seeds.
- Additionally, you can touch the peppercorns to check if they are firm, whether the pepper color is a slightly dark and shiny green; if the peppercorns are quite soft, then they are still young and lack the strong pepper flavor.
- You need to avoid choosing pepper branches with wrinkled skins, as these are old peppers, where the moisture inside has evaporated, leaving wrinkled seeds and an unpleasant smell.
