How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh bottle gourd
- You should choose bottle gourds that are of moderate size, with bright green skin, straight body, and fresh green stems.
- When selecting bottle gourd, you should pay attention to check if there is still a layer of fine hair on the outer skin, as this indicates it is freshly cut.
- Avoid buying bottle gourds that are too large or show abnormal signs such as black spots, being rotten, or damaged.
How to choose fresh pork
- You should choose pork pieces that have bright colors, light pink or light red shades, with fat that is translucent white and slightly creamy, and the meat fibers when cut will slightly retract, with a dry surface and good elasticity when pressed.
- Fresh pork will have a characteristic pleasant smell, which is not unpleasant and does not have a fishy odor.
- Choose pork pieces where the meat and fat are distinct but tightly connected.
- You should not choose meat that has unusual colors, pale shades, or overly dark colors, with a shiny surface, slimy texture, or a foul smell.
