How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh straw mushrooms
- You should choose round, intact straw mushrooms that are medium-sized, not too big, undamaged, and still have buds.
- If the mushrooms are kept for too long, they will have a slight musty smell, so you should choose mushrooms that have a faint aroma as they are fresh.
- Straw mushrooms are very easy to be preserved with chemicals to maintain freshness for a longer time; since this type of mushroom has a very short shelf life, if you smell any unusual odor, you should definitely not buy them.
- Normally, straw mushrooms can only be preserved for 1 day, so when choosing mushrooms, please be mindful to avoid affecting your health!
How to choose delicious and quality vegetarian ribs
- You should choose pieces of ribs that are yellow, dry, and not damp or moldy.
- If buying packaged vegetarian ribs, pay attention to choose those packages that are intact, not torn, and check the expiration date to select quality ribs.
- You can find vegetarian ribs at specialized vegetarian stores everywhere; you can also easily find vegetarian ribs at markets or supermarkets for cooking.
Where to buy various types of flour
Rice flour, wheat flour, and tapioca flour can be purchased at grocery stores, supermarkets, baking ingredient shops, or at TasteVN stores nationwide. To make it more convenient, you can also order online at e-commerce sites like bachhoaxanh.com!
How to make Vegetarian Cut Noodle Soup
-
Mix and knead the dough
Put 200g of rice flour, 25g of tapioca flour, and 25g of wheat flour into a bowl and mix well, then gradually add boiling water with a ladle, using the ladle to mix until the dough binds together.
Next, use your hands to knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, then place the dough in a bowl, cover it, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Tip:
- Since each type of flour has different water absorption rates, you should add water to the flour gradually, kneading well. If it lacks water, add a little more and knead well again. If it happens to be sticky or too wet, sprinkle a little flour and knead until the dough is dry. Keep kneading until the dough is smooth, no longer sticking to your hands or the bowl.
- You can use a dough mixer or egg beater to reduce hand fatigue!

Next, cut the vegetarian spare ribs into long strips, and cut the straw mushrooms in half.
