How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- You should choose pieces of beef that are bright red with white streaks and fat that is bright yellow.
- Choose pieces of beef that have good elasticity and firmness when you press your finger into the meat.
- Do not choose pieces of beef that are pale green or dark red, that smell sour, and feel mushy or slimy to the touch.
How to choose fresh carrots
- Good carrots are those that are medium-sized, uniform, straight, and have smooth skin with bright colors.
- You should choose carrots with a small core, and feel firm when held.
- Do not choose carrots that are too large, with a big core and many bruises on the skin.
How to choose fresh wood ear mushrooms
- You should prioritize choosing wood ear mushrooms with large, thick ears and few small mushrooms at the base.
- Choose wood ear mushrooms that are dark amber, slightly shiny or coffee-colored.
- Avoid choosing wood ear mushrooms that are overly black or have many spots on the surface.
How to choose fresh and delicious bell peppers
- You should choose bell peppers that have a smooth, shiny skin, are firm, and have bright, even colors.
- Avoid choosing bell peppers that are soft, have lost their stems, and show signs of bruising or cracking on the skin.
How to choose fresh and delicious onions
- To enhance the flavor of your dishes, you should choose round onions instead of long ones. Look for bulbs with smooth skins, no dark spots, and that fit snugly around the inner bulb.
- Choose onions that have many roots and long fibers, feeling firm when held.
- Avoid onions with rough outer skins, missing roots, and those that feel soft, spongy, or hollow.
How to choose clean and safe sweet cabbage
- Delicious sweet cabbage is characterized by young plants, green, thin leaves, and thick stems.
- Avoid choosing sweet cabbage that is a deep green color and shows no signs of pests or leaf damage, as this may indicate that the vegetable has been over-fertilized with nitrogen.
How to prepare colorfully stir-fried Korean vermicelli

Prepare and marinate the beef
Wash the beef thoroughly, then blanch it in boiling water for 2 – 3 minutes, then remove and rinse it again.
Next, cut the beef into pieces about 3 finger joints long and place it in a bowl.
Tip: Effective ways to eliminate beef odor
Method 1: After washing the beef, you can wash it again with alcohol or soak the meat in alcohol for about 15 minutes. This method will help reduce the odor in the meat while making it softer and tastier when cooked.
Method 2: After preparing the meat, put the beef in cold water and bring it to a warm temperature (do not boil), then remove it and slice it according to your preference.
See details: Effective ways to eliminate beef odor
Marinate the beef with 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of cooking oil, then mix well.
Marinate the meat for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate evenly.

Prepare other ingredients
For the onion, cut off the top and root, peel and wash it, then cut it in half and slice it thinly.
Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds, cut it into quarters, and then slice it into long strips. For the carrot, cut off the stem, peel it, and then cut it into strips about the width of a finger.
For the mustard greens, remove any wilted leaves, cut off the ends, wash thoroughly, and then cut into pieces about the length of a finger.
For the black fungus, cut off the stems, soak in water for about 30 minutes until soft, then slice into strips. For the green onions, trim the roots, wash them, and cut the green parts into pieces about two finger joints long.

Stir-fried vegetables
Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to a pan and cook on a stove on high heat. When the oil is hot, add sliced onions and stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Next, add sliced bell peppers and stir-fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then add shredded carrots and stir-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes before adding the choy sum to stir-fry together.
Add 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt to the pan and stir well for about 1 minute to allow the spices to penetrate the vegetables, then turn off the heat.

Stir-fry beef with black mushrooms
Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to another pan and heat it on the stove over high heat.
When the oil is hot, add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the beef is browned, then add shredded black mushrooms and stir well for another minute.
Add chopped green onions and stir-fry together with the beef and mushrooms for about 1 minute, then transfer the beef to a plate.

Boil and mix noodles
Boil 1 pot of water and then add the noodles to boil for about 3 minutes until they are soft, then take them out and drain.
Put the hot noodles into a bowl and add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 3 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vinegar (or lemon), then mix well so that the seasonings are evenly absorbed into the noodles.
Finally, you just need to taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking to complete.
