How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh onions
- You should choose onions that are round and of moderate size, as they will be tastier than flat-shaped ones.
- When touched, they should have a firm, smooth skin, not torn, and snug against the bulb inside, which indicates they are good onions.
- Avoid onions with dark, rough, or soft skin, as these have been stored for a long time and are no longer fresh.
How to choose good, quality oyster mushrooms
- You should choose brown oyster mushrooms with firm stems, growing in clusters, and with a distinct fresh mushroom smell, as they will taste better when stir-fried.
- For the mushroom cap, select larger caps that are not too torn, slightly indented at the top, and have thin gills on the underside.
- Avoid mushrooms that show signs of wilting, dark spots, torn caps, and unpleasant odors. These are mushrooms that have been harvested for a long time and have lost their freshness.

Prepare the ingredients
After buying the fried noodles, put them in a hot oil pan to fry until golden brown, then remove and let them drain, and then cut them diagonally into small pieces.
Peel the onion, slice it thinly, and soak it in diluted salt water for about 10 minutes to reduce the pungency, then remove and let it drain.
Wash the oyster mushrooms several times with water, then put them in a pot to boil for about 15 minutes, then tear them into small strands.
For the Vietnamese herb, remove the old stems, only take the tender stems and leaves, then wash them clean and let them drain.

Mix the fried noodles
Put the fried noodles, oyster mushrooms, and prepared onions into a large bowl, then season with 1/2 spoon of salt, 1/2 spoon of ground pepper, 1/3 spoon of seasoning powder, and mix well.
Wait about 5 minutes for the spices to absorb, then add the Vietnamese herb, sliced chili, and squeeze 1 lemon into the bowl, and mix well again. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, then serve on a plate and it’s done.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Choose tomatoes that are bright red, round, juicy, with firm skin and no scratches.
- The stem of the tomato should be fresh, not wilted, and tightly attached to the fruit, indicating it has just been harvested.
- Naturally ripened tomatoes will have a light fragrance, while artificially ripened tomatoes usually have no smell.
- Avoid buying tomatoes that are uneven in color, soft and mushy, with wrinkled or wilted skin, or showing dark spots.
How to choose fresh butterhead lettuce
- Choose lettuce that is a vibrant green color, with leaves that are not bruised or wilted, and have a light, distinctive fragrance.
- Clean lettuce (not treated with chemicals) will typically have green outer leaves, while the inner layers will be pale green, gradually lightening.
- Avoid buying lettuce with leaves that look lifeless, where the stems are starting to turn yellow, or with an unusual odor, as this usually indicates old lettuce that is no longer fresh or has been excessively treated with harmful chemicals.
