When shopping for ingredients, how do we know if they are fresh or not? Here the tips to choose fresh sayur-sayuran
Fish
The key to buying fish is to look at the “eyes”! Fresh fish eyes are bright and bulbous, not sunken or dull! Look at the “gills” is also one of the keys, fresh fish gill filaments clear bright red and no odor!
Shrimp
In Cantonese, “shrimp” and “ha” have the same sound, so eating shrimp on New Year’s Day means you can laugh all year round! When choosing shrimps, choose shrimps with shiny shells and a tightly connected head and body! When touched by hand, the shrimp shells are sticky then is not so fresh already!
Chicken
The meat is elastic and does not have a sticky feel. In addition, not fresh chicken will emit a very heavy odor!
Lettuce
Fresh, high-quality lettuce leaves are green and the stems should be white to be fresh enough! Generally speaking, the fresher the lettuce, the crisper its leaves, which can be felt by pinching the leaves with your hands. Of course, when shopping for ingredients try not to press and pinch or break ingredients indiscriminately, otherwise it will cause trouble for the seller it ~
