How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken thighs
- Choose chicken thighs that have light yellow skin, smooth, firm to the touch, and press lightly on the meat to feel its elasticity.
- Choose pieces with a natural pinkish-red color covered by a characteristic shiny yellow skin.
- Avoid those with loose skin and meat, bruises, or blood clots, and meat that has a slimy smell.

How to choose fresh corn
- You should choose fresh, long, and slender ears of corn, with bright green husks that are not dried out, tightly wrapping around the corn, and with soft and smooth corn silk. The corn stalk should not be bruised or wilted.
- Pay attention to the corn kernels; they should be uniform, plump, shiny, and straight. Pressing the kernels with your hand should feel moderately soft, and if a little milk flows out, this ear of corn will be very delicious and rich when cooked.
- You should opt for American corn, which has a sweet and crunchy taste, making the soup more delicious compared to glutinous corn.
- Avoid choosing ears of corn with few kernels, too young, or too old. Ears that are too young will lack chewiness, while those that are too old will become tough when cooked.
How to choose delicious fresh chicken thigh mushrooms
- When selecting chicken thigh mushrooms, you should choose ones that are brightly colored and 12 – 15cm long. If they are too long, the inside of the mushroom will often be hollow and lack fresh flavor.
- Choose mushrooms with brown, shiny caps that are not scratched or torn, and have no bruises or wrinkles. If the chicken thigh mushroom is fresh, there will be a thin layer of fuzz on top of the cap.
- Do not choose chicken thigh mushrooms that have a foul smell, are bruised, as they are spoiled and cannot be used.

Tips to Remove the Smell of Chicken

- Method 2: You can also use lemon juice instead of vinegar.
- Method 3: Soak the chicken directly in a mixture of salt and vinegar for 3 – 5 minutes. Then, remove it, rinse with water, and let it drain before cooking.
