How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken breast

- Choose chicken breast pieces that feel elastic when pressed, moist, not dry, leaking, and not crumbling.
- Do not buy chicken breast that is pure white or has white spots as these are affected by chemicals and growth hormones.
- If buying pre-packaged chicken breast that is difficult to inspect closely, pay attention to the quality of the outer packaging, and opt for chicken breast produced on the same day to avoid purchasing stale pieces.
How to choose fresh potatoes

- Fresh potatoes will feel firm to the touch, hard, and not soft from wilting or being stored for too long.
- Do not buy potatoes that have sprouted or have green skins as these can be harmful to health.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Choose carrots that are straight in shape, have smooth skin, bright color, and feel firm and heavy in hand.
- Avoid selecting carrots with thick, bulky shoulders, as these usually have a large core, are not sweet, and contain fewer nutrients.
- Do not purchase carrots that are misshapen, dark in color, bruised, or have unusual spots.
How to choose delicious asparagus
- Fresh asparagus should have a sturdy, firm, and shiny stalk, straight, and odorless. Additionally, the color of the asparagus should deepen from the base to the tip, and the base should be dry.
- Do not buy asparagus that is broken, wilted, soft, has a foul smell, has black spots, or shows signs of mold. Especially, if the asparagus has flowered, it should not be used and must be discarded.

-
Prepare and marinate the chicken
Wash the chicken breast with diluted salt water, rinse with clean water, then cut into bite-sized pieces about the size of a finger segment.
Marinate the chicken with 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mix well and let it marinate for 30 minutes to absorb the spices.

Prepare vegetables
Peel the potatoes, wash them clean, and cut them into long strips about 3 fingers wide.
Cut off the woody part at the bottom of the asparagus, wash the tender part with water, drain, and cut into pieces about 3 fingers wide.
Peel the carrots, wash them clean, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

When the chicken has been marinated for the right amount of time, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the chicken in a bowl and mix well.
Put a pan on the stove over medium heat, add 200ml of cooking oil to the pan, wait for the oil to heat up, then add the chicken balls and fry for about 10 minutes until both sides are golden brown, then remove and let them drain.
