How to choose fresh and safe pork
- Good pork will have lean meat that is bright red and fresh, with a white opaque fat layer that is translucent, and the cut surface of the meat should be dry, feeling firm and elastic when pressed.
- It is advisable to buy meat that has distinct lean meat and fat but is tightly attached, and it should be hard to separate when touched.
- Do not buy pieces of meat that look dull, watery, have a foul smell, or are bruised or have blood clots.
How to choose fresh and delicious Shiitake mushrooms
- Fresh and delicious Shiitake mushrooms should have a cap that is medium-sized, slightly brownish-yellow, and tightly closed rather than flared out. Choose mushrooms with short stems and a characteristic aroma.
- For mushrooms with a dark brown color, check by cutting the cap; if a milky white substance comes out, then this is a poisonous mushroom.
- Do not buy mushrooms that are bruised, have a foul smell, are soft and mushy, or show signs of mold.
