How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chives
- You should choose chives that have straight stems and a vibrant green color. Fresh chives that are still budded or have a protective layer of leaf bracts around them are delicious.
- Avoid purchasing chives that have turned yellow or are bruised, with soft or wilted stems.
- Do not select chives that have fully bloomed or are wilted, as cooking them will lose the distinctive aroma of chives.
How to choose fresh straw mushrooms
- When buying fresh straw mushrooms, you need to pay attention to choose those that are whole and have a characteristic fragrant smell.
- Fresh and delicious straw mushrooms are round and still have buds. The caps are large, and the stems are short.
- Straw mushrooms that are black usually have a richer flavor and aroma than the white variety.
- Do not choose mushrooms with fully opened caps, bruised mushrooms, or those with an unusual foul smell.

How to choose good tofu without gypsum
- Good tofu usually has an off-white color and is very soft. Tofu with gypsum is often yellower, the more yellow it is, the more gypsum it contains and is harder than normal tofu.
- Choose to buy tofu at reputable stores, ensuring quality and clear origin.
- Additionally, to ensure safety and convenience, you can make tofu at home using a simple recipe shared by Dien May Xanh.
