Prepare the Ingredients
Green onions, after buying, you remove the roots, wash them thoroughly. Then chop the green parts finely, and cut the white onion tops to about the length of one finger for decoration. For the tops, you should split them into 4 parts and soak them in a basin of salted water to make them look nice.
Fresh chili, remove the stems, then rinse briefly with water and cut into long, thin slices.
For the king mushrooms, use a knife to scrape off the brown skin at the end of the stalk. Then you can cut them in half or in thirds lengthwise if the mushrooms are too large, and then cut into bite-sized pieces about 1 – 2 finger lengths long.
After preparing the mushrooms, place them in a basin of cold water, add a slice of ginger, and soak the mushrooms for 15 minutes. Then, rinse the mushrooms again and let them drain.
Tip: To ensure the mushrooms are evenly infused with flavors when stir-frying, you should use a knife to make small diamond-shaped cuts on the mushroom stalks and caps!
