How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chayote
- Typically, fresh chayote has a light green skin, without dark spots or any unusual colors.
- Additionally, when pressed with your hand, fresh chayote should feel firm, not soft or overly bruised.
- You should avoid purchasing chayote that has too many grooves on the surface, or has a strong unpleasant smell, as this may indicate it has been treated with excessive chemicals for growth instead of being grown naturally.
How to choose fresh, quality eggs
- Quality eggs are those with a dark brown shell, looking uniform in color and not too pale, and without any unusual tiny spots on the surface.
- Moreover, when touching fresh eggs, they will feel slightly rough and textured. In contrast, if they feel too smooth, they may be old eggs.
- You should avoid buying eggs that are cracked or produce a sound when shaken, as these are not fresh and won’t taste good.

Prepare the ingredients
First, with 1 su su that you have bought, use a peeler to peel the skin, then wash it directly under clean running water, drain it, and continue to use a knife to cut it into thin strips or you can use the peeler to create strips as well.
Green onions and coriander should have the roots removed, washed with water to clean off any remaining dirt, drained well, and then chopped finely with a knife. For shallots, just peel them and chop finely.
Finally, crack 1 chicken egg into a bowl along with 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and use chopsticks to stir well.
