Choosing fresh and delicious ingredients

How to choose good quality chicken eggs

For industrial chicken eggs, you should buy eggs that have a deep, uniform color and no black spots.
Fresh chicken eggs will have a rough and slightly textured shell due to the tiny pores on the egg not closing yet.
When shaking the egg gently, if you feel the egg yolk moving and hear a light sound, you should not buy it. This indicates the egg has been stored for a long time and may be spoiled.

How to choose fresh delicious corn

Choose corn with bright green husks, not dry, tightly wrapped around the cob.
The corn silk should be soft and smooth, and the stem should not be bruised or wilted.
The cob should not be too large, moderately elongated, and feel heavy and firm when picked up.
Delicious corn will have plump, even, shiny, and straight kernels.

How to choose fresh bok choy

Choose bok choy with a white-green or light green stem, which may or may not have roots.
Choose bok choy that is bright green, with smooth, glossy leaves, free of black spots or insect bites.
Bok choy should feel heavy, not wilted, waterlogged, or rotten when held.

How to choose dried shiitake mushrooms

It is best to choose firm ones, not broken, with a bright color and no white mold spots. Choose a reputable source to buy dried mushrooms to ensure safety.
Avoid choosing dried shiitake mushrooms with unclear origins and unpleasant odors.
