Critical Success Points

• • Soaking the vermicelli so they are pliable but not soggy.
• • Proper rehydration of black mushrooms to achieve a pleasant texture.
• • Bring the broth to a boil and season before adding the meatballs.
• • Form uniformly sized meatballs for even cooking.
• • Precise cooking of meatballs (6‑7 min) so they stay tender and don’t fall apart.
• • Very short cooking of vermicelli (30 s) to prevent sticking.

Safety Warnings

• • Be careful of boiling water splashes when dropping the meatballs.
• • Use the knife cautiously when chopping chicken and ginger.
• • Spicy oil is very hot; avoid contact with skin.
