How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good tofu without gypsum
- When buying pre-fried tofu, pay attention to choose pieces that are bright yellow; when pressed, they should feel soft and smooth.
- Choose fried tofu when it has a light soy smell, with no strange odors.
- Do not buy pre-fried tofu that is dark yellow, as they may have been fried in dirty oil.
- If the tofu feels hard when pressed, or has no smell or a sour smell, do not buy it.
How to choose fresh and delicious straw mushrooms
- Delicious straw mushrooms are those that are still budded, round or cylindrical in shape, and feel slightly firm when gently squeezed.
- You should choose mushrooms that have a uniform size for a more visually appealing and tastier dish.
- Black or gray straw mushrooms will be tastier than the white ones.
- Choose mushrooms that have bright colors and a characteristic mushroom aroma.
- Do not choose mushrooms that have a foul smell, are discolored, feel soft and mushy to the touch, or are overly large, as these mushrooms have been stored for too long and will not be tasty.

Prepare the ingredients
Pre-fried tofu should be cut into bite-sized cubes. You can cut it into 6 or 8 pieces as desired.
Cut off the stems of the straw mushrooms, wash them clean, and let them dry. If the mushrooms are large, cut them in half for easier cooking.
