How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh purple sweet potatoes
- Choose heavy, firm sweet potatoes that are not bruised. Additionally, buy those with intact appearances, not cracked or chipped.
- Choose medium-sized sweet potatoes, as larger ones tend to have a lot of fibers, making them less tasty.
- If you see sweet potatoes that are pitted or have black spots, that is a sign that they are spoiled.
How to choose delicious sticky rice
- Choose sticky rice grains that are large, uniform in size, opaque white in color, and shiny on the outside.
- In addition, good sticky rice will have a natural fragrant smell. On the other hand, old sticky rice usually loses its aroma and will not retain its deliciousness when cooked.
- You can taste the sticky rice; if it has a slight sweetness and no strange smell, it is good sticky rice.
- Avoid choosing broken sticky rice grains or those that are yellowish and have a musty smell.
