Taste bud tips:

First of all, choose four methods of lentils.

1, look at the color. Common lentils in the market can be divided into purple lentils, white lentils and green lentils according to different colors. It is generally believed that white lentils are most suitable for cooking because their pods are full, tender and fragrant.

2. Select the thickness. Good lentils are those with thick pods but few grains. If the pods are too thin, they not only taste bad, but also have little nutrition.

3. Look at the color. Fresh lentils are fresh and shiny. If the appearance of lentils looks dull, it means that lentils are not fresh.

4. Extrusion hardness. The hardness of lentils can also explain their freshness. When choosing lentils, you can pinch their pods (be careful not to be looked down upon and scolded by the food stall owner). If they feel crisp and tender, lentils are fresh.

Second, two precautions for lentils.

1, lentils are easy to be poisoned or vomited when they are not ripe, so it is safest to cook lentils by stewing or boiling. If you fry lentils, you should add some salt to the hot water first, and then start frying. It's crisp and delicious, and it's easy to fry.

2. People say that shrimp paste is a kind of "hair". If there is inflammation or internal injury in the body, it is not suitable for eating this dish. In addition, the body has signs of getting angry, rhinitis, bronchitis, dermatitis and other problems, it is best to stay away from this shrimp sauce fried lentils.
