How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh white tofu
- Choose pieces of tofu that are off-white in color, have a fragrant smell and the characteristic rich taste of soybeans.
- It is advisable to select pieces that feel light when held, have good elasticity, and a smooth surface rather than being rough and hard.
- Avoid choosing pieces of tofu that have turned yellow or smell like lime, as these may be tofu that has been stored for too long or contains gypsum, which is not good for health.
How to choose fresh and delicious chives
- Choose fresh chive leaves that are bright in color and break easily when you pinch them with your fingers.
- Avoid buying old chive leaves that have turned yellow or chives that are bruised and rotten.
- To ensure the origin and quality of the chive leaves, you should buy them at reputable stores and supermarkets.
