How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken intestines
- Fresh chicken intestines have bright colors, no foul smell, and do not leak water. When pressing the heart, gizzard, or liver, you can feel the firmness and elasticity.
- You should buy chicken intestines from reputable places to ensure quality. Ideally, you should buy freshly slaughtered chicken intestines, as they will taste better when cooked.
- Do not buy if you see the chicken intestines are soft and mushy, discolored, leaking water, or have a rotten smell.
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Choose tomatoes that are bright red, evenly colored, whole, and not bruised. They should have a light, distinctive tomato fragrance.
- It is best to choose those with stems still attached, where the stems are fresh and tightly sticking to the top of the tomato.
- Do not choose bruised tomatoes or those without a fragrant smell, as they may be overripe.
How to choose delicious wood ear mushrooms
- Prioritize choosing wood ear mushrooms with large, thick caps and few small mushrooms at the base.
- The mushroom color should be dark amber, slightly shiny (for the top side) and coffee-colored (for the bottom side).
How to choose delicious shiitake mushrooms
- Choose shiitake mushrooms that have a light fragrant smell.
- Choose mushrooms that are about the size of your thumb; do not choose mushrooms that are too large as they may not taste good.
- Do not choose shiitake mushrooms that are dark brown or have an unusual smell.
- If choosing fresh shiitake mushrooms, they should be soft, smooth, and intact.
How to prepare Chicken Offal Noodle Soup
-
Prepare the chicken offal
Wash the chicken offal with water, blanch it in boiling water for about 3 – 5 minutes, then remove and rinse it again with water.
Next, use a knife to cut it into thin slices suitable for eating.
How to clean chicken offal to avoid unpleasant odors:- You need to rub salt all over the chicken offal, be gentle when rubbing the liver as it is soft and can easily break.
- Then add a little vinegar or white wine with the chicken offal, soak for about 5 minutes, gently massage, and then rinse with water.
-
Prepare the remaining ingredients
First, to clean the mushrooms, soak the shiitake and wood ear mushrooms in water for about 30 minutes to expand, then remove them, rinse them clean with water, and let them drain. Next, use a knife to cut the shiitake and wood ear mushrooms into thin strips.
Use a knife to slice 1 shallot thinly and cut 1 tomato into wedges.
For 1 stalk of green onion, use a knife to cut it into small pieces about 2 finger lengths.
How to properly prepare wood ear mushrooms:- You should only soak fresh wood ear mushrooms for a maximum of 5 minutes before cooking. Avoid soaking wood ear mushrooms for too long or overnight, as this will lead to the production of many toxins in the mushrooms, which can be harmful to health.
- Soak the mushrooms in cold water, not warm water, because while mushrooms expand faster when soaked in cold water, the morpholine in the mushrooms does not have much time to neutralize.
How to properly prepare dried shiitake mushrooms:
- Method 1 (soaking to expand): Soak the mushrooms in water for about 1 – 2 hours, then rinse with clean water and let drain before cooking. To expand the mushrooms faster, you can soak them in warm water at 60 – 80 degrees Celsius for 7 – 10 minutes.
- Method 2 (boiling mushrooms): Rinse the mushrooms briefly with clean water, then boil them in a pot of boiling water for about 3 – 5 minutes.
- No matter how you prepare them, you should gently rub the mushrooms by hand to remove all dirt, then squeeze out the water and let them drain before cooking.
