How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good snow mushrooms
- Choose snow mushrooms that are light yellow rather than white because they have higher nutritional value.
- Choose mushrooms that are whole, not torn, with no mold on the surface and free from insects or other impurities.
- Additionally, if the mushrooms have an unpleasant strange smell, especially a sour smell, do not buy them.
How to choose good beef
- You should prioritize selecting pieces of beef that are bright red, with tender, small fibers that are not too fine.
- If you gently press on a good piece of beef with your hand, it should have a good firmness and elasticity, not feel sticky to the touch, and not emit any unpleasant or unusual odors.
- Do not buy pieces of beef that are pale green or dark red, with dark yellow fat, white spots on the meat fibers, and that feel mushy and slimy when touched.
How to choose fresh carrots
- Choose carrots that are bright in color, dark orange, with smooth skin, green tops, and not bruised.
- Additionally, select those that are still firm and of medium size.
- Avoid choosing those that have wilted tops, cracks on the body, or spots, and with green tops.
How to make Snow Mushroom Beef Salad
-
Prepare mushrooms and vegetables
First, soak the snow mushrooms in water for 30 – 40 minutes until soft. Then, cut off the mushroom stems, wash them clean, and cut into small pieces.
Next, peel the carrots, wash them, and cut them into thin strips. Wash the cilantro and chop it, doing the same with the chili.
Finally, peel the garlic and mince it, cut the lemon in half and squeeze to extract the juice.
Tip: You can soak the carrots in a little sugar to make them crunchier.

Prepare and stir-fry the beef
Wash the beef thoroughly with water, then drain. Next, cut the beef into thin slices.
Place a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, and heat it up.
When the oil is hot, add about 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, the prepared beef, 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Stir quickly over medium heat until the beef is just cooked, then turn off the heat.
How to prepare beef without a smell: First, use a cloth to dry the moisture on the piece of meat, then pound roasted ginger and rub it evenly on the piece of meat. Finally, wash the meat again with water and let it drain.Tip: Do not stir-fry the beef for too long as it will make the meat tough and unappetizing.

Make the salad dressing
Place a pan on the stove, add 1 bowl of filtered water, 1/2 bowl of brown sugar, and 1/2 bowl of fish sauce. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then turn off the heat and let it cool completely.

Toss the salad
Add the chopped snow mushrooms, shredded carrots, cilantro, chili, minced garlic, 2 ladles of salad dressing, 1 ladle of lime juice, 4 tablespoons of chili sauce, and stir-fried beef into a large bowl.
Use your hands to mix the salad thoroughly so that all the ingredients are soft and soaked in the seasoning.
