How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose good, safe chicken
- For this dish, you can choose chicken wings, chicken thighs, or any part you prefer!
- Choose chicken with thin, shiny yellow skin, of moderate size and weight.
- When buying, you should select pieces of chicken that are bright red inside, and when touched, feel firm and have a certain elasticity.
- Avoid buying chicken with bruises, blood clots, or any unusual odor.
How to choose delicious, safe eggs
- You can use chicken eggs or duck eggs to make this dish, depending on your preference.
- It is advisable to choose eggs with a shell covered in a layer of white powder, which feel slightly rough to the touch and feel firm when held.
- Avoid choosing eggs with dark-colored shells or a strong, unpleasant smell, as they may be spoiled.
- Hold the egg and shake it gently near your ear; if you don’t hear any noise from inside, it’s a fresh egg.
- On the contrary, if you hear noise coming from inside, it means the egg has been stored for a long time.
How to choose fresh, delicious carrots
- Fresh, delicious carrots will have a distinctive dark orange color, bright color, smooth skin, and will not be cracked, firm, and easy to hold.
- It is advisable to choose carrots with fresh green tops, not damaged or wilted.
- You should select long, moderately sized carrots, neither too large nor too small.
- Avoid purchasing carrots with rotten tops and bent bodies, or those with damaged or scratched skin, as these are old carrots and are no longer fresh.
How to choose fresh, delicious cucumbers that are not bitter
- Shape: Choose cucumbers that are slender, evenly shaped, and straight. You should avoid cucumbers that are too big, too small, or too young as they may be bitter.
- Cucumber skin: You should pay attention to the outside; fresh cucumbers will still have a layer of white powder, and it’s best to buy those with small bumps on their skin.
- Color: It’s advisable to buy cucumbers that are bright green; dark green cucumbers may have a slightly bitter sap at the end of the fruit.
- Additionally, you should also choose cucumbers with a fresh stem and the flower end still intact, as these are young, fresh, and sweeter than the others.
