How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose the right chicken
- To buy the right chicken, you should choose one that has a moderate size and weight, not too small or too large, as chickens that are too small may not be fully grown, and if the chicken is too large, it may have been pumped with water or treated with strong growth hormones.
- Good chicken will have a thin layer of golden skin, and feel smooth to the touch.
- Avoid choosing chickens with bruised meat or unusual odors.
How to safely choose to buy king mushrooms
- To safely choose to buy king mushrooms, you should select mushrooms with large, smooth, and shiny caps. The stems should be long and thick at the base.
- Avoid choosing mushrooms that show signs of being old, damaged, such as scratches, bruises, or those that have strange odors.
- To ensure safety, you should look for this type of mushroom at reputable stores, shopping centers, or farms that specialize in providing various types of mushrooms.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- To buy delicious carrots, you should choose those with bright orange color, medium size, not too large, with smooth skin, and when held, they feel firm, not soft or mushy.
- Avoid choosing carrots that are misshapen, have cracked skins, and show signs of bruising or wilting, as these are carrots that have been stored for a long time, are no longer fresh, and when cooked, will not ensure the flavor of the dish.

Buy the king mushrooms, wash them clean, cut them, and separate the caps from the stems. Make a cross incision on the mushroom caps, and split the stems in half.
Next, soak the mushrooms in cold water mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar for about 10 minutes, then rinse with water and let them drain.
Peel the carrots, wash them clean, and then cut them into round slices about 1/4 of a finger thick.
Peel the corn, clean the silk, rinse quickly in water, and cut into round slices about 1/2 of a finger thick.
Trim the green onions by removing the roots and wilted leaves, then cut into pieces about 2 finger lengths long. Chop the cilantro after removing the roots and rinsing it quickly in water.

Cooking chicken soup with mushrooms
Place a pot on the stove, add 500ml of filtered water and bring to a boil over high heat, then add the chicken, carrot, and corn to the pot, cooking for about 10 minutes until the water boils.
