How to choose good, pure honey
- Good quality, pure honey will be thick, dark brown like a cockroach, and have a strong characteristic fragrance.
- To check if honey is real or fake, the simplest way is to drop 1 drop into clear water. Real honey will settle in the water rather than dissolve immediately like fake honey.

How to choose fresh and delicious ribs
- Fresh pork ribs have a pink color, good elasticity, and no unusual odors.
- You should choose ribs with flat and small bones. These pieces have less bone and more meat than those with large, round bones.
- Do not buy ribs that are dark in color, lack elasticity, have unpleasant smells, or are slimy, as they may be spoiled or rotten. Ribs that are too bright pink may have been soaked in preservatives.
How to clean ribs to be fresh and odor-free
- Method 1: To remove the smell from the ribs, you can soak them in a diluted saltwater solution for about 25 – 30 minutes, then take them out and rinse with water.
- Method 2: You can briefly blanch the ribs in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then remove and rinse with cold water.
- Method 3: When blanching the ribs, adding a piece of shallot, ginger, or rice wine will also help effectively remove the meat smell!
