How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good tuna
- For fresh tuna, you should choose fish with sparkling eyes, and the whites should be visible in the pupils inside. The gills should be bright red, not brownish or dark red.
- When you touch the belly of the fish, if it feels elastic and does not sink, it is fresh.
- For frozen fish, pay attention to the expiration date on the packaging. You should choose fish with an expiration date within 1 month from the date of catch.
How to choose good bell peppers
- You should buy peppers that have a smooth, shiny, and firm surface, still have stems, are brightly colored, and feel heavy in your hand. These are the ones that are both fresh and rich in nutrients.
- When filleting salmon, you should choose male bell peppers because when heated, the flavor will be tastier and more robust than that of female bell peppers.
How to choose good potatoes
- You should choose potatoes that have yellow skin, feel solid and heavy, and do not have spots or black holes on their surface.
- Do not buy those tubers that have sprouted or have green skin. Because these fruits are very toxic and can adversely affect health when consumed.
