How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- To choose fresh beef, observe and select pieces that have a bright red color with white marbling and fat that is bright yellow.
- Gently touch the piece of meat to feel its firmness, choose pieces that are elastic and leave no indentation when pressed.
- Avoid choosing pieces that are dark in color, have a foul smell, and feel slimy to the touch, as these indicate that the beef is no longer fresh and consuming it may affect your health.
How to choose fresh and delicious butterfly pea flowers
- To choose good butterfly pea flowers, look for fresh clusters with vibrant green color. Also, select flowers that have a natural fragrance.
- For a tastier dish, you should choose flowers with many unopened buds, as they will provide more crunch and sweetness when eaten.
- Avoid purchasing flowers that are bruised, crushed, overly large, have white spots, or have an unusual smell, as these indicate that the flowers are spoiled.
