How to choose ingredients
For chicken thigh mushrooms
- You should choose chicken thigh mushrooms that have a round cap, brown and shiny, with a fresh white stem, and feel very firm to the touch.
- Delicious chicken thigh mushrooms usually measure between 12 – 15 cm long; avoid buying mushrooms that are too long as they tend to be hollow and lack fresh flavor.
- Fresh chicken thigh mushrooms have a distinctive aroma similar to almonds. You should avoid mushrooms that have an unpleasant odor and uneven coloration.
For fresh shiitake mushrooms
- Fresh shiitake mushrooms usually have caps that resemble an umbrella, are not bruised, and have a slightly yellow-brown color.
- You should choose mushrooms of moderate size, not too large or too small, with short stems and tightly curled caps.
- You should avoid mushrooms that are slimy; fresh mushrooms will have a thin, paper-like film on them.
