How to choose fresh and delicious straw mushrooms
- Delicious straw mushrooms are those that are still buds, not yet opened, slightly round or cylindrical in shape, and feel a bit firm when gently squeezed.
- You should choose mushrooms that are uniform in size for a more visually appealing and tastier dish.
- Choosing black or gray straw mushrooms will be tastier compared to the white ones.
- You should not buy mushrooms that have a foul smell, are discolored, feel soft and mushy when touched, or are overly large. This is a sign that the mushrooms have been stored for too long and will not taste good.

Cooking Noodles
You place a pan on the stove, then add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and 1 teaspoon of minced shallots to sauté until fragrant.
After the shallots turn golden and release their aroma, add the prepared mushrooms and stir-fry, then season with 1/2 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of chili sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of water, and stir well.
Simmer the sauce over medium heat until it boils, then taste and adjust the seasoning as needed before turning off the heat.
Next, place a pot of water on the stove. Once the water boils, proceed to blanch the noodles and bean sprouts. After blanching, drizzle a little oil that has been sautéed with shallots over the noodles to prevent sticking.
Then, place the noodles in a bowl, and top with mushrooms, tofu, sausage, and bean sprouts. When ready to eat, simply drizzle the sauce over and mix well to enjoy immediately.

How to choose fresh carrots
- Choose carrots that are of moderate size, with a straight, elongated shape toward the tail, a smooth skin but not too glossy, firm to the touch, and slightly hard.
- Select carrots that have a bright, deep orange color, with fresh green tops firmly attached to the body of the carrot.
- Avoid carrots with wilted tops, bruised bodies, slimy parts, dark spots, and those that feel soft when pressed.
- Do not choose overly large carrots. Carrots with thick, large tops and shoulders are older, which means they will have more fiber and less nutrients.
How to choose fresh young corn
- You should choose young corn that is bright yellow, not wilted, retains a certain crunchiness, and is not soft or mushy.
- Fresh young corn should be intact, without insect bites or dark spots.
- To ensure quality, buy from reputable sources with clear origins.
- Avoid buying if the corn is wilted, bruised, has tiny dark spots on the kernels, or shows signs of being eaten by pests.
