How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken thigh mushrooms
- To choose delicious chicken thigh mushrooms, you should prioritize selecting mushrooms with bright colors and a length of 12 – 15 cm.
- The cap of the mushroom is spherical, brown, shiny, with a thin layer of fibers on top, and no scratches or tears. The stem is white, looks and feels very firm, with uniform color.
- When fresh, chicken thigh mushrooms will have a very distinctive aroma similar to almonds.
- You should not choose mushrooms that are too long because the inside can easily be hollow and lacks fresh flavor. Additionally, you should avoid mushrooms that have an unpleasant smell or are bruised.
How to choose fresh oyster mushrooms
- Currently, there are many types of oyster mushrooms, regardless of the type you choose, you should select mushrooms with a firm stem; the caps can be large, gray or white (depending on the type). The tip of the mushroom is slightly concave, and under the cap, there are thin fibers.
- Fresh oyster mushrooms usually grow in clusters, are bright, and have a characteristic mushroom aroma.
- If making stir-fried dishes, you should choose brown oyster mushrooms because they are crunchier, chewier, and sweeter. For porridge or hot pot dishes, you can choose white oyster mushrooms.

Prepare the ingredients
First, wash the chicken leg mushrooms and cut them into small pieces. For enoki mushrooms and oyster mushrooms, tear them into small pieces. Then soak all the mushrooms in salt water for about 15 minutes.
After soaking, take the enoki mushrooms out, wash them thoroughly, and let them drain. For the oyster mushrooms and chicken leg mushrooms, squeeze out the water, rinse with clean water, and squeeze again. Repeat this process 2-3 times until the mushrooms are free of any odor.
Peel the corn, remove the corn silk, and wash it clean, then cut it into pieces. For the coriander, clean it, wash it thoroughly, and then chop it finely.
