Tips for Choosing Ingredients
Tips for choosing good green mangoes
- Good mangoes have a smooth green skin, not rough or with tiny blemishes on the surface.
- Pressing on them should feel firm, not soft, and the stem should still be hard and not broken off.
- Also, avoid buying fruits that have turned yellow as these are ripe mangoes and will not be as crispy as green mangoes.
- Additionally, you can rely on the aroma to choose. If it smells of chemicals, it is best not to buy, as naturally ripe mangoes will have a light, pure fragrance.
Tips for choosing delicious sour fruits
- For today’s dish, young sour fruits are more suitable than ripe ones. Choose sour fruits that feel slightly firm when pressed, solid in hand, and not too soft.
- Delicious sour fruits have a naturally bright green skin, not too scratched or rough. Avoid choosing fruits that have turned yellow as they are ripe.
- Additionally, the stem should still be intact and attached to the body, and there may be a layer of sap around it, which indicates that the sour fruits have just been harvested.
