Most of the cooking recipes we use rice, so you must choose an excellent quality and always make sure that the rice was stored correctly. As for cooking rice, first we must wash the rice well, then soak the rice with lukewarm water and repeat the process more than once and replace the water each time until it comes out All the starch is from the rice so that the water is a clear color and does not contain impurities. Here you will get rice ready for cooking properly

Vegetable selection

You must take into account a lot in choosing vegetables and they should not be soft. Try to choose them fresh, for example, do not buy tomatoes that are soft, choose strong because they are good. As for leafy vegetables, they must be very green and not yellow, and I advise you to buy small quantities so that you have fresh all the time

spices

I advise you to buy fresh spices from perfumery stores and to grind them at home and do not buy large quantities. Buy small quantities so that they remain fresh for you, and because they also lose their flavor when stored for long periods, and try to put the powder that you grind in an airtight glass jar.

Good selection of meat

The ideal meat color should be pink and its bones white. Stay away from red meat because it is at most old. Do not buy meat from large animals because it is strong and does not give you the desired taste. Always make sure that you buy fresh meat and do not buy frozen meat and stay away from reduced-priced meat because it is in Mostly it is old. Also, when you buy chicken, make sure that the chicken is placed in a tightly closed bag and does not have any tears and does not come out of an unpleasant smell.
