How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
Fresh cassava
Shape: Choose cassava tubers that have a well-balanced shape, are smooth, have thin skin, and small stalks. The fresh “meat” of the tubers should be sweet, fragrant, and full of water. Avoid selecting tubers with rough skin, as they are often fibrous, dry, and less sweet.
Color: Delicious cassava tubers will have green petioles and ivory-white skin.
Delicious abalone mushrooms
When choosing mushrooms, it is important to look for those with a large, firm body and not porous. The caps of the mushrooms should have large, intact lobes that are slightly curved. Additionally, high-quality abalone mushrooms will have a natural color that is not too dark or too light, typically white or gray.
To ensure freshness, be sure to choose mushrooms that are intact and not crushed or broken, and have a pleasant, natural aroma with no signs of spoilage.
Dried shiitake mushrooms
You should choose mushroom caps that are intact, have a light color, and show no signs of mold. It is recommended to purchase mushrooms from reputable food or grocery stores to ensure their quality.
