How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken eggs
- For industrial chicken eggs, choose eggs with dark brown shells, even color, no cracks, and no black spots.
- You can use your hand to feel the surface of the eggshell; if the surface is rough and slightly coarse, it is a fresh egg, while a smooth surface indicates the egg has been stored for a while.
- Additionally, you can hold the egg and gently shake it close to your ear to listen. If you hear a sound, the egg has been stored for too long; if there’s no sound, it is a fresh chicken egg.
How to choose delicious wood ear mushrooms
- Prioritize selecting wood ear mushrooms with large, thick ears and a stem with few small mushrooms.
- The mushrooms should have a dark amber color, slightly glossy on the top side, and a coffee milk color on the underside.
- Avoid choosing dry wood ear mushrooms that are dark black, as these may become mushy when soaked in water and are less crunchy.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Fresh and delicious carrots should be of moderate size, with a straight and elongated shape towards the tail, smooth skin, firm to the touch, and slightly hard.
- Choose carrots that are bright, deep orange in color, with green leaves still fresh and firmly attached to the root.
- Avoid selecting carrots with wilted or bruised tops, damaged bodies, slimy texture, or dark spots, and those that feel soft when pressed.
- Do not choose overly large carrots with thick stems and shoulders, as these are older carrots that will have more fibers and fewer nutrients.

How to make Steamed Eggs
-
Prepare the ingredients
Peel the carrot, wash it clean, and then chop it finely with a knife.
Soak the wood ear mushrooms in clean water for about 30 – 45 minutes until they soften, then drain. After that, chop the wood ear mushrooms finely.
Remove the roots of the scallions, discard the yellow leaves, wash them clean, and then chop them into small pieces.
How to properly prepare wood ear mushrooms:
- You should only soak dried wood ear mushrooms for a maximum of 3 – 4 hours before cooking. Avoid soaking them for too long or overnight, as this can lead to the production of toxins in the mushrooms, which is harmful to health.
- Soak the mushrooms in cold water instead of hot water, as soaking in hot water may cause them to lose nutrients even though they expand faster.

Mix the filling for the sausage
You put the sausage into a bowl containing prepared carrots, wood ear mushrooms, and green onions, season with 1 teaspoon of pepper and then use chopsticks to mix well so that the ingredients blend together.
-
Beat the eggs
For chicken eggs, you separate the yolks and egg whites into separate bowls.
You season the yolks and egg whites with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder and then use chopsticks to stir well.

Egg Wrapping
Add 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan, and when the oil is hot, proceed to wrap the egg over high heat.
Put the egg yolk into the pan and gently tilt the pan to make the egg round and even; when the yolk is cooked, remove it from the pan.
Next, wrap the egg white, also tilting the pan to make the egg round, and continue until the egg white is cooked, then turn off the heat.
-
Rolling the Egg
Add the prepared sausage mixture on top of the egg yolk, spreading it very thinly, then place the egg white on top.
Continue to spread another layer of sausage mixture over the egg white layer.
After that, gently roll the egg up, then wrap it in a layer of aluminum foil, continuing to roll it tightly.
Tip: To prevent the egg from bursting while steaming, remember to leave the edges of the egg when spreading the sausage mixture.
-
Steaming Eggs
Steam the eggs in a steamer for about 10 – 15 minutes over medium heat until the ingredients are cooked.
