How to choose fresh and delicious chicken thigh mushrooms
- Choose chicken thigh mushrooms that have bright colors, with mushrooms of uniform size around the size of 2 fingers, as these are the most delicious and just right for eating.
- Fresh and delicious chicken thigh mushrooms will have intact caps, not crushed or leaking, while ordinary chicken thigh mushrooms will be packaged carefully.
- Avoid choosing chicken thigh mushrooms that are too large or longer than about 15cm, as they are often old, hollow inside, and will lose flavor when cooked.
