How to choose fresh Northern plums
- Fresh Northern plums are those that are large, with no significant size difference, and have a smooth, shiny skin.
- Since there are quite a few types of Northern plums, their colors can vary from green, red to purple.
- Additionally, gently press the plum with your hand; if it’s sweet and delicious, you will feel a slight softness. Conversely, if the plum is still hard, it will taste very sour and astringent.
- Be particularly careful not to buy plums that are too soft, bruised, show unusual small spots on the surface, or have become mushy due to being stored for too long.
- For this dish, it’s best to choose green plums as they will be tastier, crunchier, and more appealing.
How to choose delicious dried beef
- Delicious dried beef has long, thick strands that are dark yellow or deep red. At the same time, when you try it, you will find it chewy and elastic; to tear the dried beef, you need to use a lot of force.
- Currently, there are many types of fake dried beef for sale on the market; they often look like small, short dried strands and taste grainy, not delicious.
- Moreover, if you have time, you can make dried beef at home with the extremely simple and quick recipes below from TasteVN to enhance the flavor of the dish!
