How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good tofu without gypsum
- Good tofu usually has an off-white color and is very soft. Tofu with gypsum often has a yellower color, and the more yellow it is, the more gypsum it contains, making it harder than normal tofu.
- Buy tofu from reputable stores with guaranteed quality and clear origin.
- Additionally, to ensure safety and convenience, you can make tofu at home using the simple recipe below.
How to choose fresh and delicious bean sprouts
- Clean bean sprouts usually have many long roots, the size of the sprouts is uneven, mostly elongated, with curved stems, and not shiny.
- Avoid buying sprouts with abnormal lengths, thick round stems, and short roots as these have been soaked in chemicals.
- Additionally, you can make bean sprouts at home, safely, reliably, and simply with the detailed instructions from TasteVN.

How to choose fresh and delicious chives
- You should choose young chives with bright colors; when you snap them with your hand, they should break easily.
- Avoid buying old chives, which are dark green as they have many fibers, making them tough and unappetizing, or chives that have turned yellow and show signs of rot.
- You should buy chives from reputable places to avoid growth hormones and pesticides.

Stir-fried Tofu with Chives and Bean Sprouts
You heat up a pan and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the bean sprouts and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they are soft and cooked evenly.
Next, add the tofu along with seasoning including: 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of vegetarian seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then stir gently for about 2 minutes to avoid breaking the tofu.
Then, you add the chives and stir-fry for another 1 minute, then taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking before turning off the heat. Finally, serve the dish on a plate.
Tip: You can sprinkle a little ground pepper on top when serving to enhance the aroma and make the stir-fry more appealing.
