How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Choose Fresh Pork
- Choose pork that is light pink or light red, with fat that is white or slightly off-white. It’s also a good idea to choose pork with a bit of fat or marbling so it’s not too fatty or too dry.
- Fresh pork will have good elasticity; when you press it with your finger, it should spring back to its original shape, without leaving an indentation.
- Avoid pork that is pale, has a foul odor, or is slimy, as this indicates spoilage or poor quality.
How to Choose Fresh Shrimp
- Choose shrimp that aren’t slimy when you touch them.
- Also, choose shrimp with translucent shells and heads and bodies that are firmly attached.
- Fresh shrimp typically have their legs and tails curled inwards. Avoid shrimp with spread-out legs and tails, as they may have been injected with chemicals.
