How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken breast
- Choose chicken breast pieces with white skin, as this indicates that the chicken is larger, making the meat tastier and chewier. If you buy skinless chicken breast, observe the layer of fat on the chicken; if the fat is white, the meat will be tastier.
- Choose pieces of meat that are light pink, bright, with a shiny surface, and slightly firm.
- Choose chicken breast pieces that feel elastic when pressed; they should not be watery or fall apart.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- You should choose carrots that are bright in color, deep orange, with smooth skin, green leaves, and not bruised. Additionally, select those that are still firm and of medium size.
- Avoid choosing carrots with wilted leaves, cracked or blemished bodies, or those with green tops.
- Do not choose overly large carrots with thick tops, stems at the base, and thick shoulders, as these are older carrots that will have more fibers and less nutrients.
How to choose fresh and delicious bell peppers
- When buying bell peppers, you should select those with shiny, thick, smooth skin and still have stems. You should buy the ones that feel heavy in hand and have bright colors, as these are fresh, tasty bell peppers rich in nutrients.
- Avoid choosing bell peppers that are soft and mushy, feel flimsy, and have blemishes or cracks on the skin, as these are spoiled bell peppers that have lost nutrients.
- Additionally, you should only buy bell peppers from reputable grocery stores or large supermarket chains to ensure the products have been quality checked and have clear origins.

Prepare the ingredients
First, wash the chicken breast and then put it in a pot of water to boil over medium heat for about 20 – 25 minutes. After that, use your hands to shred the chicken into small pieces.
Next, peel the onion, wash it, and cut it into small pieces.

Finally, cut the cabbage into thin strands, wash it, and let it drain.

Sautéed Chicken and Vegetable Filling
Place a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, and heat until the oil is slightly bubbling, then add shredded chicken breast and stir well over medium heat for 3 – 4 minutes.
Next, add the chicken breast to the pan along with onion, carrot, bell pepper, cabbage, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, and 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce.
Stir well to combine the ingredients, then cover tightly and cook over medium heat for 4 – 5 minutes before turning off the heat.
-
Grilling the Sandwich
Place the sandwich bread in a dedicated toaster, spread a little unsalted butter on the surface of the bread, then evenly distribute the chicken and vegetable filling on top.
Next, place another slice of bread that has been spread with a layer of butter on the filling, close the machine tightly, and grill for about 1-2 minutes until the two layers of bread adhere together and the surface is slightly toasted.

Final product
The chicken and vegetable sandwich has a light crispy golden-brown crust with the enticing creamy aroma of butter. Inside, it features a savory filling with tender, chewy chicken and the natural sweetness from various vegetables, making it incredibly delicious and easy to eat without feeling overwhelmed.

How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Naturally ripe tomatoes have a taut, plump skin and a bright red color. You should choose those that feel firm in your hand and avoid those that are soft as they spoil quickly.
- If the stem of the tomato is green and tightly attached to the body, it means the fruit is naturally ripe. Ripe tomatoes will have a faint characteristic aroma when smelled.
- Compared to naturally ripe tomatoes, those treated with chemical agents usually lack fragrance, are not red, and are quite hard, so you should limit buying these.

How to make Egg Sandwich
-
Boil the eggs
First, place 4 eggs in a pot of water and boil over high heat for about 15 – 20 minutes until the eggs are cooked. After that, peel the shells and cut the eggs in half into a bowl.
-
Mix eggs with vegetables and spices
Next, add about 2 chopped green chilies, 1 diced tomato, 3 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper into the bowl of eggs.
Then, use your hands to mash the eggs and mix all the ingredients evenly so that they absorb the spices.
-
Toast the sandwich
After preparing the filling, spread it evenly on one slice of bread, then place another slice of bread on top of the filling and spread a little butter on it.
Finally, put the sandwich in the toaster, press down firmly, and toast for about 3 minutes until the bread sticks together, sealing the filling and browning the surface slightly.
Do the same with the remaining slices of bread!

Final Product
The egg sandwich has a light buttery aroma, with a chewy and crispy crust combined with a filling that is incredibly satisfying, blending the rich flavor of eggs, the slight acidity of tomatoes, and a hint of spiciness from chili and cilantro to balance the taste. Eating it creates a sensation that is very pleasing to the palate and undeniably delicious.
