How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- For this dish, you should choose brisket or flank beef, as this part of the meat is usually tender, moderately thick, crunchy, very fragrant, and lightly fatty, with a bit of marbling.
- You should select pieces of beef that have bright red color, clear marbling, and the fat should be a bright yellow.
- When you gently touch the piece of beef, you will feel a moderate tenderness and good elasticity.
- You should not buy pieces of meat that have a foul smell, are mushy, have round white spots between the fibers, and have a pale green color, as these indicate old beef that is no longer usable.
How to choose good quality chicken eggs
- Choose eggs with thick shells, not too large, as they are usually fresher than those with thin, large shells. If you notice that the egg’s shell is too smooth and shiny, it indicates that the eggs have been stored for a long time.
- For eggs with hard outer shells, check if there is a thin layer of powder around the shell; if so, the eggs are fresh.
- To check if the eggs are still fresh, shake them gently; if there is no movement, the eggs are fresh, and if there is strong movement, the eggs are old.
- Currently, there are fake chicken eggs, bleached chicken eggs, and Chinese chicken eggs on the market, so make sure to buy eggs from reputable markets, stores, or supermarkets to ensure the quality of the eggs!

Cooking Quang Noodles
Place a pan on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and heat it up, then add the minced shallots to sauté until fragrant. When the shallots release their aroma, add the beef and stir-fry over high heat until the meat is seared.
Next, add about 2 bowls of boiling water (approximately 2 liters) into the basin used to marinate the beef earlier, swirl it around, then pour the water into the pan, cooking over low heat for another 5 – 10 minutes to make the beef more tender.
After that, drop the eggs in and cook for another 5 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and season to taste. Finally, add the chopped green onions, stir well, and turn off the heat.
