How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh pennywort
- Choose bunches of pennywort that are still young and bright green, with juicy stems.
- Avoid choosing old pennywort with dark green leaves as they will taste bitter when eaten.
- Do not select pennywort bunches with many wilted or bruised stems. Before purchasing, you can also smell to see if the pennywort still retains its characteristic scent.
How to choose fresh beef
- Choose pieces of beef that are bright red with white streaks and the fat is light yellow.
- For good quality beef, when pressed, it should be elastic, not dented, and not sticky to the hand. The meat should not have a foul smell or a pale green color.
- If making a stir-fry with beef, prioritize choosing tenderloin or fillet beef as they cook quickly and are not chewy.
