How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose quality salted eggs
- You should choose salted eggs that have no cracks on the outside and no mold. Shake the egg gently in your hand and feel that there is a little water inside the egg.
- Just like choosing fresh eggs, you should hold the salted egg up to the light and sunlight. If the egg white is clear, pink in color, and the yolk is small and close to the shell, then it is a high-quality egg.
- Do not buy salted eggs if the egg white is cloudy, the yolk is thin, and it has a foul smell, meaning the egg is spoiled.
How to choose fresh and delicious sweet mustard greens
- Fresh sweet mustard greens have a dark green color, thick leaves, smooth texture, and a firm yet crisp stem. When holding the greens, if the leaves stand upright and are not wilted, they are still fresh.
- You should not buy greens that are light green or yellowing, have black spots, are soft and wilted, or have developed a large, hard stem.
How to choose fresh and delicious chicken eggs
- First, you should choose chicken eggs that have a generally dark brown shell, are evenly colored, do not have cracks, and do not have black spots.
- Use your hand to feel the surface of the eggshell; if the surface is rough and slightly grainy, it indicates fresh chicken eggs, while a smooth surface suggests the egg has been stored for a while. When a hen just lays an egg, the tiny pores on the eggshell have not closed yet, so you will feel a rougher texture.
- Additionally, you can pick up the egg and shake it gently near your ear to listen. If you hear any noise, it means the egg has been stored for a long time; the louder the noise (the egg inside moves), the more likely the egg is spoiled or it is an egg that the hen is still incubating.

Make the salted egg sauce
Put a little sliced ginger into the steamer. Next, you put the salted egg into a bowl and then put it in the steamer for 10 – 15 minutes until the egg is soft.
After steaming, take the bowl of salted egg out of the pot, use a fork to mash the salted egg. Crack a chicken egg into a new bowl, use a fork to beat the egg well.
Next, add the salted egg mixture and 2 tablespoons of fresh milk to the chicken egg and stir to combine the mixture together. When the mixture is smooth, season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then stir well to dissolve the seasoning into the sauce.
Put the pan on the stove, add a little oil, and heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and stir-fry until the garlic is golden and fragrant, then add the salted egg sauce mixture to the pan. Stir well over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, then turn off the heat.
Tip: To remove the fishy smell of the salted egg, soak the salted egg in white wine for about 10 minutes to eliminate the odor, then rinse with fresh water. -
Blanching vegetables and noodles
Put a pot of boiling water on the stove, when the water is boiling, add the sweet vegetables to blanch for 1 minute, then remove the vegetables and let them drain. Next, add a bundle of instant noodles to the pot and blanch for 1 – 2 minutes until the noodles are evenly cooked, then remove and let them drain before placing them on a plate.
Tip:- When you see the noodle pack just dissolve, stir quickly and remove it immediately.
- To keep the noodles chewy, you can rinse the noodles under cold running water and then shake off the excess water. After that, you can add a little cooking oil to the noodles, mix well to prevent them from sticking together.
