How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- Choose shrimp with transparent shells, slightly smelling of seawater, with legs tightly attached to the body, firm shrimp meat but not unusually fat, joints on the shrimp body flexible, not falling apart, head and body sticking tightly together.
- Avoid shrimp that are slimy and have a curved body forming a circle, when moving your finger on the shrimp shell, it feels bumpy as if there is sand.
How to choose good honey
- You should choose pure honey, check by dropping a few drops of honey into a glass of clean water; if the drops of honey form round balls, do not dissolve, and sink to the bottom of the glass, then this is real honey.
- Additionally, you can use spring onions dipped in honey; if the green onion wilts, then this is real honey.
- You should not buy honey that has turned black, has bubbles on the surface, has a strong pungent smell, and tastes sour and bitter, as this is honey that has fermented and is no longer good for health.
- Currently, there are many fake honeys on the market, and honey mixed with other substances is no longer pure, so you should choose a reputable place to buy.
