How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh salmon
- Fresh salmon will have bright orange or dark orange flesh that looks very appealing. When pressed with your hand, it should be elastic and moist.
- The fat streaks of the fish should be evenly distributed, with a bright white color, and it should have a characteristic fresh fish smell.
- Avoid choosing pieces of fish with cloudy white fat streaks, soft and mushy flesh, pale color, and unpleasant odor.
How to choose fresh, juicy oranges
- Fresh oranges are those with bright outer skin, free from dark spots or rough patches, and the stem should still be green and not broken off.
- Additionally, you should choose oranges that have a balanced shape, not too misshapen, and when held, they should feel solid.
- Avoid buying oranges that feel soft and mushy when pressed, and those that are large but too light, as they are not juicy and will not taste good when cooked.
How to choose fresh and delicious asparagus
- You should select fresh asparagus with firm, plump, straight stems that are not broken or wilted.
- Choose asparagus spears that are brightly colored, darkening towards the tips, and not yellowing, with dry, non-waterlogged ends.
- It is best to buy asparagus from reputable places like supermarkets, grocery stores, or agricultural shops to ensure quality and origin.
- Avoid purchasing asparagus with black spots on the stems or showing signs of mold or sliminess.
