How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken breast
- When buying chicken breast, you should prioritize purchasing at reputable stores or supermarkets to ensure better quality!
- To choose fresh chicken breast, select pieces where the meat is dry and has a light pink color, press gently with your hand to feel the meat’s elasticity and that it does not stick to your hand.
- Avoid choosing chicken breast pieces that are pale, have black bruises, or have an unusual odor because these are signs that the chicken breast has been stored for too long or has spoiled.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- When buying carrots, first you should prioritize choosing those that are of medium size, with a long and slender body, smooth skin, and not rough.
- Next, you should choose carrots that have a bright orange color, with green tops that are fresh and still have a bit of soil on them.
- For carrots, avoid choosing those that are too large as they are usually older and have more fibers. Conversely, if the carrots are small and have a pale skin, they will be less crispy and sweet.
How to choose fresh and delicious zucchini
- To choose delicious zucchini, first, you should pick those that are of medium size, not too big or too small.
- You should choose straight ones that feel firm in hand, with smooth skin and no scratches. The tops should be a bright green.
- You should not choose zucchinis that have a lot of scratches on the skin or are bruised and soft, as these may be not fresh and may be spoiled or rotten inside.

Prepare the ingredients
To reduce the odor of chicken breast, we will first soak the chicken breast in diluted salt water for about 3 – 5 minutes. Then, rinse the chicken breast thoroughly and use a knife to cut it into thin slices about 1/2 finger length and place it in a bowl.
For zucchini, first cut off both ends, then rinse it clean and use a peeler to shave it into thin strands. Similarly, for carrots, we also peel, rinse, and shred them thinly.
Cut off the roots and yellow leaves of the green onions, rinse them clean, and cut into pieces about 1 finger length. Finally, peel the garlic and chop it finely.

Marinate the chicken breast
The chicken breast after being cut into thin pieces and placed in a bowl will be marinated with 1 teaspoon of five-spice powder and 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning.
Use chopsticks to mix well and marinate for about 30 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors evenly.
