How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- You should choose meat that is bright red, has fine fibers, beautiful marbling, fat that is light yellow, and has a distinctive aroma of beef when smelled.
- Additionally, good beef will feel sticky when touched, and have a certain degree of elasticity when pressed lightly.
- Avoid buying meat that is dark red, has dark yellow fat, or has large fibers because that indicates old cattle, which is usually tough and not good to eat.
- If you see beef that is dark red, has white fat, and has a slightly fishy smell, it is likely fake beef made from buffalo meat, so you should avoid buying it!
How to choose fresh, quality carrots
- You should choose carrots that have shiny skin, bright colors, feel firm, and are quite heavy.
- Additionally, you should choose those that are proportionate in size, not too big or too small. Carrots with small cores are usually sweeter than those with large cores.
- Avoid choosing carrots with scratched skin, soft bodies, and many small spots as these are signs of spoiled carrots.
- Furthermore, you should not choose large carrots that feel light, have withered tops, bruises, and are separating from the body as these are old or have been stored for too long.
How to choose fresh and delicious mustard greens
- Fresh and delicious mustard greens will have a bright green color, smooth and shiny leaves, not wilted or with black spots.
- When you hold the mustard greens, they will feel heavy, have no strange smell, and the weight corresponds to the size.
- Do not choose mustard greens that are light green in color, with black spots or yellow specks on the stem or leaves, lighter in weight than the actual size of the greens, have a foul smell, or wilted leaves.

Prepare and marinate the ingredients
First, you wash the shrimp and peel them clean. The beef should be washed and cut into thin slices for easy eating.
Carrots, after peeling, should be washed and shredded into thin strips about the length of one finger or sliced. For mustard greens, cut off the roots, wilted leaves, wash them clean, and cut into pieces about one finger long.
Shallots should be peeled and minced. Then, soak the vermicelli in cold water for about 5 minutes to soften. After that, drain and rinse with clean water.
Next, mix the shrimp with a seasoning mixture including: about 1 minced shallot, 1 spoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and a little ground pepper. Marinate for about 10 minutes for the shrimp to absorb the seasoning.
Similarly, mix the beef with the same amount of seasoning as the shrimp and marinate for 10 minutes.

How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- You should choose shrimp with a transparent outer shell that still has a hint of the sea scent, not a fishy smell.
- Additionally, fresh and delicious shrimp will have a curled tail, a slightly curved body, and firm flesh but not unusually plump.
- Moreover, the shell joints on the shrimp’s body should be flexible, not detached, and the shrimp’s head and body should be tightly connected, not falling apart.
- Avoid buying shrimp with spread tails as they have been pumped with chemicals or injected with water to make them plump.
- To ensure safety and quality, you should choose fresh shrimp from seafood stores or reputable supermarkets!
