How to Choose Fresh Enoki Mushrooms
- Enoki mushrooms are usually packaged in vacuum-sealed bags, and the bag will display the origin and expiration date… before purchasing, you should carefully check this information.
- Fresh enoki mushrooms have a creamy white color, shiny and fresh appearance, with a firm stem that is not brittle or separating.
- Avoid choosing mushrooms with spots, browning, bruising, or leaking; these are mushrooms that have been stored for too long or are contaminated.
- Cold-stored enoki mushrooms can be used for about 1 month, while at room temperature, they should be consumed within 1 – 3 days. It is best to cook the mushrooms immediately after purchasing to ensure freshness.

Boil the noodles
Boil a pot of water and then add the noodles to cook for about 20 minutes until they are soft. Next, take the noodles out, rinse them thoroughly with cold water, and let them drain.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good bell peppers
Good bell peppers have bright colors, shiny skins, fresh green stems, and feel heavy in hand.
Avoid buying soft bell peppers with blemished, dull, or cracked skins, as these are old and not fresh.
Bell peppers come in two types: male and female. If the tail of the fruit splits into 4, it is female; if it splits into 3, it is male.
The female fruit is usually sweet and often eaten raw, while the male fruit is more sour and used for cooking, such as in stir-fries or grilling.
How to choose delicious oyster mushrooms
Delicious oyster mushrooms have a thick, sturdy stem, a large cap, and are less likely to tear.
The mushrooms have a bright color, no unpleasant smell, so it’s best to buy them in clusters rather than individually.
How to choose delicious tomatoes
Delicious tomatoes have a bright red color, are evenly colored, and plump. Tomatoes that emit a light, characteristic fragrance are naturally ripened tomatoes, while artificially ripened tomatoes do not have a fragrance.
You should choose tomatoes with a firm stem still attached; these are fresh, recently picked tomatoes.
