How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good chicken leg mushrooms
- Choose chicken leg mushrooms that have bright colors, with uniformly sized mushrooms about 2 fingers wide.
- Fresh chicken leg mushrooms will have an intact cap, not bruised or leaking water.
- Do not choose mushrooms that are too large or longer than about 15cm, as they are often old mushrooms, hollow inside.
How to choose delicious tofu
- You should buy tofu pieces that are off-white in color, feeling light when picked up.
- Tofu made from soybeans feels soft and smooth to the touch. It has a characteristic fragrant smell when sniffed.
- Do not buy tofu pieces that are hard, feeling heavy when picked up, as these contain gypsum.
- Tofu that has been chemically processed will have a pure white color and should absolutely not be chosen.
- Additionally, to ensure your family’s health, you can also make tofu yourself following the instructions from TasteVN.
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- You should choose tomatoes with a pink-red skin, plump because they are naturally ripened and will taste very good.
- When touched, you can feel a certain softness in the tomato, and it feels firm when held.
- Do not choose tomatoes that are dark red, with a hard skin, as they have been chemically treated or artificially ripened.
- Do not buy tomatoes that feel too soft to the touch, with wrinkled skin that no longer looks smooth.

Prepare the ingredients
Boil about 1 liter of water, add the noodles, and to prevent them from sticking together when cooked, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, boil for 20 minutes until the noodles are soft. Then, take the noodles out and drain them.
Soak the chicken thigh mushrooms in diluted salt water for about 5 – 10 minutes, take them out, rinse with water, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Wash the tomatoes, chop one tomato finely, and slice the other one into thin slices. Pick the cilantro leaves, remove the roots, wash them, and chop them finely.
Peel the shallots and garlic, then chop them finely. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.

Mix the tomato sauce and fry the tofu
Add chopped tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vegetarian seasoning, 1/3 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce into a bowl, then mix well.
Pour 200ml of cooking oil into a pan and heat the oil, then add the tofu and fry over medium heat until the tofu is golden brown on both sides, then remove.

Stir-fry the mixture
Add 1 tablespoon of the oil used to fry the tofu into the pan, heat it, then add minced onion and garlic to sauté until fragrant. Add the chicken leg mushrooms and stir-fry quickly over high heat for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are partially cooked.
Next, add the prepared tomato sauce mixture, stir for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Then add sliced tomatoes, fried tofu, and noodles into the pan, stir-fry over low heat for about 5 minutes to let the noodles absorb the seasoning. Adjust seasoning to taste, then turn off the heat, add cilantro, and it’s ready to enjoy.
