How to choose fresh shrimp
- You should choose shrimp with a translucent shell, a tail that is curled, and a slightly curved body as this indicates fresh shrimp.
- In addition, choose shrimp with the head firmly attached to the body, and the shell joints on the body should be flexible.
- Avoid choosing shrimp that have turned dark brown, are slimy, have heads that fall off the body, and especially those that have an unusual foul smell as they have gone bad.
How to choose fresh bamboo shoots
- You should choose young bamboo shoots, with thin skin, crispy, uniform segments in size, straight shape, and especially a characteristic fragrant smell.
- Avoid choosing bamboo shoots that are too white, have a twisted shape, have many tiny black spots, and feel dry to the touch.
