How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh clams
- Choose clams with dark shells and smooth surfaces that are not cracked or broken.
- Gently tap on the clam shell; if it closes tightly, it means the clam is still alive and fresh. If the clam does not show signs of closing tightly, it is dead and not fresh, so do not choose them.
How to choose fresh passion fruit.
- Passion fruit typically has a wrinkled outer layer and is lightweight, with a distinctive aroma. You should choose those with dark purple or reddish-brown skin for a sweeter and tastier fruit.
- Fresh passion fruits will have a more sour taste and smooth outer skin; if you prefer a more sour sauce, you can choose this type.
- If the passion fruit is leaking juice and is soft, these fruits have been stored for too long and are spoiled, so pay attention to avoid choosing them by mistake.
