How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose delicious straw mushrooms
- Choose straw mushrooms that are round and still have a bud. Do not choose those that have fully bloomed.
- Black straw mushrooms are always tastier than white ones.
How to choose good dried shiitake mushrooms
- Choose ones that are firm, not broken, bright in color, and free from white mold spots. Choose reputable sources to buy dried mushrooms to ensure safety.
- Avoid buying dried shiitake mushrooms with unclear origins and unpleasant odors.
How to choose and buy delicious jicama
- If you want to buy sweet and fresh jicama, you should choose small or medium-sized jicama. Larger jicama will give you a crispy feeling when eaten.
- To buy good jicama, you should select those that are easy to hold, have smooth skin, and are light brown in color, without bruises.
- In addition, good jicama has a weight that corresponds to its size. If the jicama is large but lightweight, it is of poor quality.
- Jicama is not a seasonal vegetable, so you can easily buy it at any time of the year.

Preparing the ingredients
Cut the straw mushrooms’ stems, soak them in diluted salt water for 15 minutes, then gently squeeze to remove dirt, rinse with clean water 2 – 3 more times, then drain and cut the mushrooms in half. For dried shiitake mushrooms, soak them in warm water for about 15 minutes until soft, then drain.
Tips for preparing straw mushrooms and dried shiitake mushrooms
For straw mushrooms:
- Soaking in salt water will help remove unhealthy substances from the mushrooms.
- After washing, you can place the mushrooms in a colander and gently scrub; all external impurities will be removed.
For dried shiitake mushrooms:
To soak the mushrooms faster, use warm or hot water. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the soaking water. When soaking, ensure that the stems of the mushrooms are in contact with the water surface. This method will help you easily remove dirt from the fragrant mushrooms.
Wash the jicama clean, cut it into small pieces or wedge shapes to cook the broth.
Tips for cleaning jicama:
- Use a brush or cloth, or a sponge to scrub the outside of the jicama to remove all the dirt sticking to the skin.
- If you do not process the cleaned jicama immediately, you can place it in a bowl of cold water, add a few drops of lemon juice, and it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Cut the tofu into pieces about 2 – 3cm for easy eating. Slice the vegetarian sausage thinly.
Briefly blanch the bánh canh for about 3 – 5 minutes, then remove and drain in a colander.
-
Cook the broth
Place a pot on the stove and add about 2 liters of filtered water to boil. Once boiling, add the cassava and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes to extract the sweetness, then remove it.
Next, add the tofu, straw mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and vegetarian sausage to the pot. Cook for an additional 10 minutes until the ingredients are cooked and soft, then turn off the heat. Sprinkle a little pepper to enhance the aroma of the dish.
-
Make the fried onion
Peel the shallots and slice them thinly.
Heat about 1/2 small cup of cooking oil. Add the shallots and fry until golden and fragrant.
-
Finished Product
Enjoy the hot vegetarian mushroom noodle soup with a sweet broth made from cassava. The mushrooms are soft and chewy, and the tofu is creamy, paired with the chewy noodle strands. You can make an extra bowl of chili sauce for dipping to make the dish spicier and more appealing.
