How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good shiitake mushrooms
- For dried shiitake mushrooms: You should choose mushrooms that are light brown in color, not separated. In particular, you need to pay attention to the aroma of the mushrooms and ensure there are no signs of mold or strange smells, and the outside should not have white mold spots.
- For fresh shiitake mushrooms: You should choose mushrooms that are of medium size, with short stems, slightly yellow-brown color, and a natural fragrance. You should avoid selecting mushrooms with dark brown caps as they may be toxic, have a foul smell, or show strange signs.
How to choose sweet white radishes
- You should choose radishes that are long, straight, not crooked, with smooth skin and no signs of scratches or bruising.
- Additionally, you should choose radishes with fresh green tops, tightly attached to the root, and still have root hairs, indicating they are fresh and good radishes.
- Avoid selecting radishes with wilted tops, oversized bodies, or leaves that are no longer fresh and wilted as these are old radishes and not fresh.
How to choose fresh and delicious chayote
- You should choose chayote fruits that have a bright green skin, with a naturally smooth and shiny outer layer that is not bruised. When you gently press the bulb with your hand, it should feel easy to press and juicy, indicating a tasty, sweet, and high-quality fruit.
- Avoid buying chayote fruits that have a whitish-green skin, are wilted, mushy, or emit a bad smell, as these are old chayotes and will not retain their original flavor when cooked.
How to choose good cassava
- When buying cassava, you should prioritize selecting those that are not too large, fit comfortably in your hand, have a light brown color, a smooth skin, and are not bruised or showing signs of dryness.
- Avoid choosing large cassava roots that feel light when lifted, as these are of poor quality and will not taste good when cooked.
How to choose fresh and delicious onions
- You should choose onion bulbs that have a shiny outer skin, are uniformly colored, and when you gently squeeze them, you can immediately feel the firmness of the bulb.
- Avoid choosing onions that are soft, wilted, emit a bad smell, have uneven colors, or are bruised or rotten.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Prioritize selecting carrots that have a bright orange color, smooth skin, straight shape, a size that is not too large but just right, and feel firm and have a moderate hardness when held in hand.
- Be careful not to choose those that show signs of cracking, have distorted shapes, have discolored skins, or emit a bad smell, as these are old and do not ensure quality.
How to choose vegetarian ingredients
- Fried tofu: It is important to choose pieces that are golden and crispy, with a moderate softness; otherwise, the dish may not be flavorful and appealing when cooked.
- Bean curd skin: You should prioritize pieces that have a soft ivory color and a distinctive bean aroma, and when touched, you can immediately feel its smoothness. Avoid choosing pieces that have turned dark yellow, smell foul, and have a slimy layer on the outside.

Prepare Ingredients
For the shiitake mushrooms, after buying them, you use a knife to cut off the dirty soil at the base and soak them in diluted salt water for 2 minutes, then rinse with clean water and let them drain.
For the seafood mushrooms, you cut off the stem, separate them into individual mushroom pieces, rinse briefly with water and let them drain.
Peel the radish and carrot, then rinse with clean water. After that, you will cut them into round slices that are easy to eat or you can carve the radish and carrot into beautiful flower shapes to make the dish more appealing.
For the chayote, you peel off the green skin and to reduce the sap, after peeling, soak the chayote in diluted salt water for about 10 minutes, then rinse clean and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the cassava and cut it into pieces.
For the onion, you also peel it and only use half of it, cut that half in two to prepare for making the broth.
The fried tofu you bought should be cut into bite-sized cubes.
The tofu skin should be blanched for about 10 minutes and cut into strips. If you have time, you should soak it overnight or fry it to make the tofu softer.
Peel and finely chop the shallots.
Trim the roots of the green onions, wash them clean, and chop the leaves finely for garnishing the dish.
