How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh oysters
- For oyster shells: You should choose shells that are cone-shaped and tightly closed, as this indicates that the meat inside will be more abundant and tastier. Avoid buying oysters that are already shucked as they may be dead.
- For oyster meat: When you shuck an oyster, if you see the meat clinging tightly, filling the shell, and containing a lot of seawater, congratulations, you have chosen a quality oyster. Moreover, you should avoid purchasing oysters that have a streaked intestine because, at this point, the meat will no longer be fresh.
- For shucked or packaged oysters: If you choose to buy shucked oysters, pay attention to the freshness of the oyster meat, ensuring it is not slimy or discolored. You should also check the information about the manufacturing company, production date, and expiration date when buying packaged oysters!
How to choose fresh bamboo shoots
- You should choose bamboo shoots that are still fresh, with rough shapes, evenly sized segments, not bent, crispy but tender, without yellow leaves, with no spots on the surface, and not wilted.
- Additionally, you should also select bamboo shoots that have thin, crisp skins, are juicy, and have a fresh taste with a distinctive aroma.
- Definitely do not choose bamboo shoots that are too white, with a yellow-brown color, that do not stick to your hands when touched, and have streaks.
