How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose the right squash
- Fresh and good-quality squash are large, plump, and have dark green skin. In contrast, older squashes will have black skin, many seeds inside, and will taste sour when eaten.
- When buying, you should pick them up to check; choose those that feel heavy and firm in your hand. The skin should be hard but can be pressed with your nail. Avoid buying those that are soft as they have wilted.
- A sign of young squash suitable for eating is a thick stem. These squashes will taste sweet when eaten.
How to choose fresh and clean chicken eggs
- Based on the eggshell: Fresh, clean chicken eggs have a dark brown shell, are uniformly colored, and do not have cracks or black spots. Avoid buying eggs with pale shells and many black spots as those are old eggs.
- Touching the egg: You can feel the egg with your hand. If you feel a rough surface, it indicates that it is fresh chicken egg. Conversely, if the egg has been stored for a long time, the surface will be smooth.
- Gently shake the egg: When buying, you can hold the egg close to your ear and gently shake it to check. If you hear a sound, do not buy it as it is an old egg. If it is fresh, you will not hear any noise.
- Shining the egg under light: You just need to shine the egg under a lamp or sunlight. If it is a fresh chicken egg, you will see a small air cell, the yolk is round, orange or light pink, does not move, and is balanced in the middle of the egg. The egg white will be clear.
