How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- You should choose shrimp with a slightly transparent shell that still has a hint of seawater smell, not fishy.
- Fresh shrimp will have a curled tail, a slightly curved body, firm meat but not unusually fat, the shell joints on the shrimp’s body are flexible, not detached, and the head and body of the shrimp are tightly connected, not falling off the body.
- Avoid buying shrimp with spread tails as these shrimp have been pumped with chemicals or injected with water to make them appear fat.
- It is advisable to buy fresh shrimp from seafood stores or reputable supermarkets for safer usage!
How to choose fresh eggs
- Fresh chicken eggs usually have a dark brown shell, evenly colored, no cracks, and no black spots. Older chicken eggs have lighter shells and more black spots.
- Additionally, 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 quite some time.
- Do not buy chicken eggs that, when held up to the light, show a large air cell, a red yolk, and veining, as these are old eggs.
How to choose fresh and delicious chicken leg mushrooms
- You should choose fresh chicken leg mushrooms, measuring between 12 – 15cm in length. If they are longer, the mushrooms will be hollow, not fresh, and less sweet.
- Fresh mushrooms will have a very distinctive aroma similar to almonds, the caps are brown, shiny, without scratches, bruises, or wrinkles, and have a thin layer of fibers on top of the caps.
- Avoid buying mushrooms that have an unpleasant odor, are bruised, have a soft stem, or have uneven colors.
- Additionally, you can use other types of mushrooms depending on your family’s preferences.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Fresh and delicious carrots should be of moderate size, straight and elongated towards the tail, with smooth skin, feel firm in hand, and be slightly hard.
- Choose carrots that are deep orange in color, bright, and with fresh green leaves firmly attached to the body of the carrot.
- Avoid carrots with wilted, bruised tops, the body showing bruises, slimy, with dark spots, and feeling soft when pressed.
- Do not choose overly large carrots with thick tops, as these are older carrots, which will have more fibers and less nutrition.

Prepare Ingredients
Shrimp bought should be cleaned to remove the fishy smell. After removing the head, shell, legs, and shrimp vein, soak the shrimp in diluted salt water for 2 – 3 minutes, then rinse with clean water and let it drain.
Quick Way to Remove Shrimp Vein
- Method 1: Use the tip of a knife to make a vertical cut along the shrimp’s back and then pull out the shrimp vein.
- Method 2: Count backward from the tail of the shrimp to the second groove between the two shell segments, insert a toothpick through and pull to remove the shrimp vein.
- Method 3: Turn the shrimp upside down, hold the shrimp body with one hand, use the other hand to peel the sides of the shrimp head, then hold tightly at the junction of the head and body, slowly separate the shrimp head from the body. At this point, the shrimp vein is still attached to the part near the head, so it will be pulled out along with it.
Shallots and garlic should be peeled and minced. Carrots should be peeled, washed, and cut into strips. Chicken leg mushrooms should have their stems removed and cut into bite-sized strips about 2 finger lengths long. Green onions should be washed and cut into sections.
Sweet mustard greens should have the stems cut off, washed, and cut into small pieces about 2.5 finger lengths long.

Marinate shrimp
Mix the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1/3 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 of the garlic, and minced shallots on a plate, mix well and marinate for about 10 minutes for the shrimp to absorb the spices evenly.
-
Stir-fry eggs
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, whisk them together until the yolk and white are well combined.
Next, place a pan on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, and wait until the oil is hot before adding the eggs.
Fry and stir continuously over medium heat for about 2 minutes until the eggs are cooked, then transfer the eggs to a plate.
-
Sautéed Shrimp
Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan, wait until the oil is hot, then add the remaining minced shallots.
Sauté evenly until the shallots become fragrant, then add the marinated shrimp. Stir-fry over medium heat for about 3 minutes until the shrimp turns completely red, then turn off the heat and transfer to a plate.
-
Sautéed Greens
Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and the remaining minced garlic, sauté until the garlic is fragrant, then add the chicken thigh mushrooms, julienned carrots, and 50ml of water. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, then add 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Toss everything for another minute until the mushrooms and carrots are cooked, then add the mustard greens.
Sauté over medium heat for another 2 minutes until the greens are cooked, then add the fried eggs, adjust the seasoning to taste, and turn off the heat.
