How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- You should choose soft pieces of beef with yellow fat and a red-pink surface.
- Avoid selecting pieces of meat with unusual black spots or that smell strange when sniffed.
- You can check if the beef is fresh by pressing it with your finger; if it does not return to its original position but stays indented when you pull your finger away, it is not fresh, and you should not buy it.
How to choose delicious straw mushrooms
- You should choose fresh, unopened mushrooms, as these tend to be sweeter and tastier than those that have opened.
- Prioritize selecting mushrooms that are black or gray, rather than those that are light white.
- Delicious mushrooms usually have a cylindrical shape, are firm to the touch, and feel heavy.
How to prepare Stir-fried Straw Mushrooms with Beef
-
Preprocessing the straw mushrooms
Cut off the stems and any bruised black parts of the straw mushrooms, soak them in diluted salt water for 5 – 10 minutes. Then, rinse thoroughly with cold water and drain.
-
Pre-processing and marinating beef
To retain the nutrients in the beef, use paper towels to wipe off the blood on the meat first, then rinse with clean water.
To marinate the beef, add 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of fish sauce. Then mix well so the beef absorbs the marinade and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Peel the garlic, rinse it clean, crush it with a knife. Then chop it finely.

Stir-frying straw mushrooms

Completing the dish
After 5 minutes, the mushrooms are nearly cooked, add all the beef and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the beef is done. Adjust the seasoning to suit your family’s taste and turn off the heat.
