How to choose fresh minced meat
- Choose meat that has a bright pink color, a dry membrane, a slightly firm surface, and tender fibers.
- When pressed, the meat should bounce back, be dry, and not ooze slime.
- You can buy pre-minced pork at the market and then process it, but it will be difficult to check the meat’s quality.
- It is best to buy whole pork pieces to grind yourself using a meat grinder to ensure safety and quality when using.

How to choose fresh eggs
- Fresh eggs are those that feel rough and slightly coarse when touched by hand; if they feel smooth, the egg has been stored for quite some time.
- Hold the egg up to a light source or roll a piece of newspaper and shine it under sunlight; you will see a small air cell, the yolk round, seemingly immobile and balanced in the center of the egg, with a light orange or pink color, while the white is transparent, indicating it is a fresh egg.
- Hold the egg and gently shake it. If you hear a noise, the egg has been stored for a long time and should not be purchased; conversely, if there is no noise, it is a fresh egg.
How to choose fresh and delicious straw mushrooms
- Delicious straw mushrooms are those that are still in bud, round or cylindrical in shape, and when lightly squeezed, they feel a bit firm.
- It is advisable to choose mushrooms that are uniform in size for a more aesthetically pleasing and tastier dish.
- Black or gray straw mushrooms will taste better than the white ones.
- Choose mushrooms that have bright colors and a characteristic mushroom scent.
- Do not choose if the mushrooms have a foul smell, are discolored, feel soft and mushy to the touch, or are overly large, as they have been stored for too long and will not taste good.
How to prepare straw mushrooms without a foul smell
- For fresh straw mushrooms: Use a knife to cut off the dirty stems, then wash them briefly in a mixture of water and rice flour for about 1 minute. After that, continue to soak them in this new mixture for an additional 5 minutes, and rinse thoroughly with water 2 – 3 times.
- For dried straw mushrooms: Place the mushrooms in a pot of diluted salt water, then put it on the stove to boil for about 5 minutes. After that, rinse the mushrooms clean and prepare them for cooking.
