Directions

  1. Wash the meat, then finely chop it. If possible, pulse it in a food processor designed for meat: this will give you a better result. ≈ 8 min
  2. Next, finely chop the onion and carrot. ≈ 8 min
  3. Soak the vermicelli in warm water, around 30 degrees Celsius, until they are soft, then drain them and cut them into desired lengths.
  4. Add the fragrant mushrooms and black mushrooms to water, then chop them finely.
  5. Wash the soybeans, scallions, and cilantro, then chop them. Combine all the prepared ingredients in a large salad bowl or frying pan.
