How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh rice paddy herb (rau tần ô)
- You should choose fresh rice paddy herb bundles that have a dark green color, feel soft when touched, and are not bruised or infested with pests. Because these plants are still young, they will be sweet and fragrant.
- Additionally, the best rice paddy herb is the one that has just been harvested, usually sold in the morning at the market or bought at supermarkets with the purchase date close to the production date.
- Do not choose old rice paddy herbs, as they will feel hard and crunchy when pressed by hand, because these herbs are old and will not taste good.
How to choose fresh and quality shrimp
- When buying, you should choose shrimp with transparent shells, with the head and legs firmly attached to the body and a slight smell of seawater, not fishy.
- Moreover, fresh shrimp will have tails curled together. If the shrimp tails are spread out, then the shrimp has been injected with chemicals or water to make them plump.
- Do not choose shrimp that are slimy, with bodies curled into a circular shape instead of straight as usual. Because these shrimp have been caught and preserved for a long time!
How to prepare Stir-fried Fresh Shrimp with Mustard Greens

Prepare the ingredients
For mustard greens, you only need to pick the tops and young leaves, then wash them thoroughly and let them drain.
To remove the fishy smell from the shrimp, soak them in diluted salt water for about 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Use your hands to peel off the head, shell, and the shrimp vein and rinse again with clean water.
Next, add the shrimp, minced shallots, 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate into a bowl. Mix well and marinate for 30 minutes to let the shrimp absorb the seasoning.
Quick and simple ways to devein shrimp
- Method 1: Use the tip of a knife to make a lengthwise incision along the back of the shrimp and pull the vein out.
- Method 2: Count backwards from the tail of the shrimp to the second segment, connecting between two shell segments, then use a toothpick to pierce through and gently pull the vein out.
