How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good tomatoes
- Choose fruits without dark spots, not bruised, and the skin should not be wrinkled.
- Press lightly to see if the inside is still firm. You should choose pink tomatoes because they have dense flesh, fewer seeds, and are rich in vitamins.
How to choose good tofu
- A good piece of tofu always has an off-white color; if it has a yellowish color, it contains gypsum. The yellower the tofu, the more gypsum it contains.
- The piece of tofu should feel light and soft when held. If it feels heavy, firm, or somewhat hard, and is too square, you should skip it.
- Buyers should also pay attention to the smell of the tofu. Real, pure tofu has its own distinctive aroma, while tofu containing gypsum either has no smell or faintly smells of lime.
