How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pig intestines
- Fresh pig intestines are pieces that show a small intestine size, not too large, and have a thick surface with a pinkish-white color.
- Additionally, fresh intestines when squeezed will release a milky white fluid, and especially feel good elasticity.
- Limit buying intestines that are large in size, have a slimy surface, and release black fluid, as they emit a strong rotten smell, indicating that they have been kept for too long and will not taste good.
How to choose sweet and delicious coconuts for water, the right way
- For coconuts that have not been peeled, you should choose coconuts still in a bunch, not broken or separated. At the same time, observe that the coconuts are of moderate size, as usually larger fruits will have a reduced sweetness.
- If you are using the peeled type, if you see the skin slightly darkened, then it is a good coconut; on the contrary, if the coconut still retains its original white color, it may have been soaked in chemicals.
- You should limit buying coconuts that are too dark or bruised, as these coconuts have been stored for a long time and are no longer tasty.
