How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Pork
- When buying pork, you should prioritize selecting shoulder meat because this part has a balanced ratio of lean and fatty meat that is tender.
- Additionally, you should choose fresh pork that has bright colors, light pink or light red meat, feels elastic to the touch, and looks very appetizing.
- Good pork will have a distinctive aroma when sniffed, without any unpleasant or sharp smell.
- Avoid buying pieces of pork that are mushy, slimy, or have white spots on the meat fibers, as these are signs of low-quality meat that may be contaminated.
How to choose delicious, quality carrots
- When buying carrots, you should choose those that have a bright orange color, feel firm when held, and have a weight that corresponds to the size of the root.
- Fresh, delicious carrots will have a moderate size with a smooth, shiny skin instead of a skin that appears rough and bumpy.
- Prioritize buying roots that still have a fresh green top, tightly attached to the body of the root.
- Avoid buying carrots that look wilted, ooze water when touched, or are too large in size, as larger carrots tend to be fibrous and not sweet anymore.
How to choose delicious, guaranteed wood ear mushrooms
- There are 2 types of wood ear mushrooms: dried and fresh, however, to ensure safety, you should choose dried wood ear mushrooms.
- When buying, you should prioritize selecting mushrooms that have large, thick ears, with few small mushrooms growing at the base.
- Avoid choosing mushrooms that have an unusually dark color, as these mushrooms will easily become mushy and lose their crispness after soaking.
