How to choose fresh and delicious pig ears
- You should choose pig ears that are bright white in color, avoiding those with purple or dark spots due to blood clots.
- You should hold the pig ears up; if the meat is still firm and the ears are solid without being soft, mushy, or limp, they are still good.
- Do not buy pig ears that have a foul smell or any strange odor.
How to choose fresh and delicious jellyfish
- The jellyfish you buy at the supermarket or market must have clear labels and origins since properly processed jellyfish can eliminate some toxins present in them.
- When choosing, be sure to check the expiration date, brand, and the condition of the packaging.
