How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh eggs
- Egg color: Industrial chicken eggs have dark brown shells, are uniformly colored, without cracks and black spots. For free-range eggs, you should not rely on color to choose because the shell color varies by type of egg.
- Feel by hand: Fresh eggs feel slightly rough and textured when held. Old eggs will feel smooth and shiny.
- Shake the egg: Hold the egg close to your ear and shake gently; the longer the egg has been stored, the more movement you will hear.
- Shine a light on the egg: When held up to a light bulb or sunlight, if the air cell is small, the yolk is centered and is pink or orange, and the white is clear, it is a fresh egg. Conversely, if the air cell is large, the yolk is dark red and has veins, it is an old egg.
How to choose fresh and delicious chicken breast
- Fresh and delicious chicken breast pieces usually have a pink color and a slightly glossy surface.
- When pressed, if the chicken breast can bounce back immediately and feels soft to the touch, it is fresh and can be purchased.
- Avoid choosing chicken breast pieces that have dark meat, as this indicates the meat has deteriorated and is no longer fresh. If the color of the chicken breast is pure white, it has likely been soaked in bleaching chemicals.
- Select pieces with fewer streaks in the meat fibers. The more streaks there are, the less fat and protein there is, and these streaks will make the chicken difficult to absorb seasonings and sauces during cooking.
How to choose fresh and delicious straw mushrooms
- You should choose fresh mushrooms, harvested within twelve hours, as the longer they sit, the less tasty they become.
- You need to select mushrooms with white stems, short stems, and round caps.
- Choose medium-sized mushrooms that feel firm in your hand and have a distinctive fragrant smell.
- When mushrooms turn ivory white or develop dark spots… they are usually old, not tasty, or have spoiled.

Add a little cooking oil to the pan, when the oil is hot, add diced onion and stir until the onion is soft and turns translucent, then add 200g of diced chicken breast and stir-fry until cooked.
When the chicken is cooked, add 50g of chopped mushrooms, 8 tablespoons of ketchup, 3 bowls of white rice, a little pepper, and a little salt, mix well to let the rice absorb the seasoning. Then turn off the heat and let it cool.
Tip: You can also fry the rice in advance and put it in the refrigerator, the next day just need to fry the eggs and take the rice out to prepare.

Fry the eggs and wrap the rice
Crack 2 eggs, add a little salt and a little pepper, and mix well.
Place a pan on the stove over medium heat and coat it with a little cooking oil. When the oil is hot, pour the eggs in to create a thin layer. When the eggs start to dry on the surface, add a portion of rice in the center, then fold the two sides of the fried egg over it, gently using a spatula to press the egg against the rice.
Once the rice is wrapped, carefully transfer it to a plate. You can use paper towels to absorb the excess oil on the surface of the egg. Then, garnish with a bit of ketchup, and the dish is ready.
