How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh water spinach
- You should choose water spinach with small stems and tips, looking firm; such bunches are very crunchy and tasty.
- Choose water spinach bunches that show a thin sap when the stems are broken, indicating that they are still fresh.
- Do not choose bunches with unusually large stems or those that look overly green, as they may contain many chemicals.
How to choose delicious, quality fermented tofu
- You should choose jars of fermented tofu with the tofu floating on top and a dark color, as this indicates that the tofu is ripe and can be used.
- It’s better to choose jars of fermented tofu stored in glass jars, because if stored in plastic jars, the fermentation process will cause the plastic to release harmful toxins.
- Avoid buying jars of fermented tofu where the tofu has a mottled black color and a strong odor, as this indicates that the tofu is moldy.
