How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh water spinach
- Fresh water spinach has small tips that are not too large and looks sturdy.
- Avoid buying water spinach that appears too lush and feels too crispy when broken, and the leaves are too dark green as it may have been fertilized with chemicals, which is not good for health.
- Typically, around April to June is the right season for water spinach, so it will be fresh, green, and especially developed naturally, which is healthier.
How to choose good tofu
- You should choose tofu pieces that are off-white in color, feel light and smooth when held. If it feels heavy, firm, slightly hard, and too square, you should skip it.
- Pure tofu without gypsum usually has a distinctive aroma, while tofu containing gypsum will have a faint smell of lime and will taste bland, dry, and spongy when eaten.
- Avoid buying tofu that is yellowish as it may contain a lot of gypsum and has been left for a long time, losing its freshness.
- You can make fried tofu at home using the recipe shared by TasteVN below.
How to choose fresh and delicious seafood mushrooms
- You should choose mushrooms that are bright white, straight-stemmed, and feel firm to the touch. The caps should also be white, without wrinkles or black spots.
- Avoid mushrooms that have turned yellow-brown, have damaged stems, or are slimy. They should have the characteristic aroma of mushrooms, without any strange pungent smell.
