Tools needed
How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh and good quality beef
- Fresh beef always has a red color, and the fat is bright yellow. The meat fibers are small, not too smooth, and the surface of the meat is dry.
- When pressed, the meat feels firm, not mushy and has good elasticity.
- Avoid buying meat that has turned a pale blue or dark red color, with dark yellow fat, that feels slimy, especially if there are tiny spots on the surface as this could indicate the beef has parasites.
- Additionally, avoid buying meat with an unpleasant odor as that indicates the meat has been stored for too long.
How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- Fresh and delicious shrimp will have a transparent outer shell, the distinctive smell of seafood, not a rotten smell, and when pressed, the shrimp feels firm and not mushy.
- In addition, check that the head, legs, and tail of the shrimp are firmly attached to the body, and the shrimp has a slightly curved straight shape, which indicates good quality.
- Do not buy if you see the head, legs, and tail of the shrimp turning black, disconnected, the body of the shrimp bent, or mushy, as this indicates the shrimp has been stored for a long time and is not fresh.
How to choose fresh and delicious duck eggs
- The eggs with a rough, hard shell, and a thin powdery layer surrounding them are the good quality eggs.
- If you touch the eggs and feel roughness, when you gently shake the egg, it should not make a sound, indicating that the egg is still fresh, and should be purchased.
- On the contrary, you should not choose eggs with smooth shells, which may have black spots or very dark shells, as these eggs have been stored for a long time.
How to choose fresh and delicious broccoli
- Choose broccoli with a deeper green color as it is tastier and sweeter. The stalk and body should be firm, not soft and flexible.
- The crown of the broccoli should be rounded rather than flat for better taste.
- It is best to buy broccoli during the peak season to get the freshest ones. The best time for broccoli is from late July to late October.
- Do not buy if the broccoli has an unusual color or has specks on the body, as this indicates old broccoli that is no longer fresh.
- Also, avoid buying broccoli that is bruised or wilted.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Fresh and delicious carrots will have a characteristic dark orange color, bright color, smooth skin, no cracks, and feel firm in hand.
- You should choose carrots with fresh green tops, not damaged or wilted. Look for long, slender carrots of moderate size that feel sturdy when held.
- Avoid buying those with rotten tops and bent bodies. These are old carrots and not tasty.
How to choose fresh and delicious onions
- You should choose round onions with long roots, as these are the delicious ones.
- Good onions will have a firm, smooth skin, attractive brownish-yellow color, no dark spots, and fit closely to the bulb.
- Avoid purchasing those with unusual shapes or completely missing the root part, as they will not be tasty.
How to prepare Stir-fried Glass Noodles with Mixed Ingredients
-
Prepare the ingredients
Soak the glass noodles in water for about 30 minutes until the noodles are soft, then drain. You can cut them in half or into thirds if the noodles are too long.
Soak the dried wood ear mushrooms in cold water for about 15 minutes until they soften, then cut off the stems, rinse, and chop into bite-sized pieces.
Shrimp should be cleaned, peeled, and the black vein on the back removed, then placed in a bowl. Crack 2 duck eggs into the bowl and whisk them together to prepare for frying. Clean the beef and slice it thinly.
Peel the onion and carrot, and separate the broccoli into small florets. Wash everything thoroughly and drain. Cut the onion into wedges and the carrot into matchsticks.
Wash the green onions with water and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
-
Boil the vegetables
Put the prepared broccoli and carrots into a pot, cover with water and boil for about 5 minutes until soft and cooked, then remove and soak in a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes, then drain.
Tip: To keep the vegetables crunchy and maintain their bright green color, you should soak them in cold water immediately after boiling.

Fry eggs and stir-fry beef and shrimp
Place a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and the beef along with 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning. Stir-fry quickly over high heat for about 2 minutes until the beef is firm, then transfer to a bowl.
Continue using the pan where you stir-fried the beef, add the cleaned shrimp along with 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning, stir-fry over high heat for about 2 minutes until the shrimp is firm, then transfer to the bowl with the beef.
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the same pan, pour in the beaten eggs and fry for about 5 minutes over medium heat until cooked evenly, then transfer to a plate and cut into long strips for serving.

Stir-fry vegetables and vermicelli
Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan, when the oil is hot, add the softened vermicelli and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce to stir-fry evenly over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the vermicelli is soft and shiny. Then transfer the vermicelli to a bowl.
Using the same pan that you just stir-fried the vermicelli in, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan and heat it on the stove. Add the onion and stir-fry for about 3 minutes over high heat, then add the mushrooms and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

Make mixed stir-fried vermicelli
Add all of the cooked broccoli and carrots, the softened vermicelli, the cooked beef and shrimp, and the shredded eggs into the pan, then stir well over medium heat.
Season with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Stir continuously for 5 minutes so that all the ingredients absorb the seasoning evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then turn off the heat to finish.
