How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh meat
- Fresh pork usually has a bright pink color, with white, clear fat that is not cloudy or yellowing, and there should be no unusual tiny dark spots on the surface.
- When pressed with your hand, the pork should have good elasticity, be firm, not too soft or slimy in an unusual way.
- Additionally, you should avoid buying pork that emits a strong unpleasant odor or has a strange smell as it may indicate that the pork has gone bad due to being stored for too long and should not be used anymore.
How to choose quality noodles
- Typically, brown rice noodles are dry noodles that have been packaged, you should choose to buy noodles that are intact, with no broken strands and the packaging not torn to avoid moldy noodles.
- It is advisable to buy brown rice noodles from reputable brands and sellers to avoid purchasing low-quality noodles.
- Additionally, you can choose fresh noodles as an alternative to brown rice noodles.
- Moreover, to bring a delicious flavor to grilled meat noodles, you can also make fresh noodles at home with the super simple recipe below from TasteVN.
