How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh eggplant
- You should choose eggplants that are dark purple, evenly colored, have smooth skin, with the stem still green and firmly attached to the fruit.
- Additionally, fresh eggplants feel quite firm when held, and a gentle press on the skin will give a sense of firmness.
- Avoid choosing eggplants with wrinkled skin, bruises, or scratches, wilted stems, and spongy flesh.
How to choose the right snow mushrooms
- You should choose mushrooms that are white, evenly colored, with a thin layer of fuzz on the top, smooth to the touch, and have a distinctive aroma.
- Avoid buying damaged, bruised, or broken snow mushrooms as they may be spoiled and harmful to health.

Prepare the ingredients
Eggplants should be cut into bite-sized pieces, soaked in diluted salt water for about 15 minutes, then rinsed with clean water.
Peel the carrots, wash them clean, and use a knife to slice them thinly. Clean the snow mushrooms by cutting off the stems, washing them thoroughly, and letting them drain. Wash the bell peppers and cut them into square pieces about 2 finger lengths.
Wash the lemongrass, remove the roots, crush it, and then chop it finely.
