How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh green beans
- Good green beans are usually long, flat, and not bulging.
- If there are many bumps, it means the beans inside are large and the beans are old, making them less tasty.
- Do not choose green beans that look too beautiful, shiny, and have few hairs because they may have been sprayed with many pesticides and the remaining residues are not good for health.
How to choose delicious dried shrimp
- Depending on the type of shrimp and their living environment, dried shrimp can have different colors after drying. However, one should not choose dried shrimp that are overly bright, too red, or dark in color, as these may be dyed to make the shrimp more visually appealing and attractive.
- When touched, the dried shrimp should be firm and not show any unusual brown spots, ensuring that they are not damp or moldy.
- It is advisable to choose shrimp that have been thoroughly peeled for easier preparation and use.
- In addition to buying ready-made dried shrimp, you can also make dried shrimp yourself to ensure freshness and hygiene with the guide from TasteVN.
