Ingredients for Winged bean salad with shrimp Serves 2 – 3 people
Fresh shrimp 300 gr Shallots 3 bulbs Fish sauce 1.5 tablespoons Ground pork 100 gr Coconut milk 1/4 cup Satay 1 tablespoon Winged beans 160 gr Bird’s eye chili 5 pieces Lime juice 2 tablespoons Palm sugar 2 tablespoons Fried shallots 30 gr Crushed roasted peanuts 30 gr
How to choose fresh, sweet shrimp:
- If buying frozen shrimp, choose shrimp that still have all parts intact, with firm, naturally elastic meat (to avoid buying shrimp that has been injected with gelatin to increase weight) and no fishy or rotten smell.
- Choose live shrimp, with shiny shells, looking sturdy; when squeezed, the shrimp should have some elasticity, and the shells should not be too soft.
- A small tip: You should pay attention to whether the seller uses a lot or little ice to preserve the shrimp. If the shrimp are preserved with little ice but are still fresh and soft, they may have been treated with borax. You should not buy shrimp like this, as it is not safe for health.

Ingredients for Long Bean Salad with Beef Serves 2 people
Beef tenderloin 100 gr Calamondin juice 1 fruit Seasoning powder 3 gr Sugar 3 gr Salt 1 teaspoon Oyster sauce 3 gr Pepper 1/2 teaspoon Fish sauce 1 tablespoon Sugar 3 teaspoons Chili sauce 1 teaspoon Garlic 5 gr Chopped small chili 1 fruit Cooking oil 2 tablespoons Minced shallots 40 gr
How to Choose Good Beef
- To choose good beef, you should observe the color of the meat. Fresh beef usually has a bright red color, not dark red, and the fat should be light yellow.
- It is advisable to choose small, tender pieces of meat with a fine texture and good elasticity when pressed.
- If you see small white nodules on the meat that can easily detach, it is likely to be parasites. You should also avoid small pieces of meat that have already been cut, as they often contain parasites.
How to prepare Long Bean Salad with Beef
-
Marinate the beef
100g of beef tenderloin, washed and sliced thinly.
Add to the bowl 3g of seasoning, 3g of sugar, a little salt, 3g of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of cooking oil, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and mix well to let the beef absorb the seasoning.
Tips for preparing tender beef, not tough:
- When slicing beef for stir-frying, simply slice it thinly and cut against the grain. Cutting the beef correctly will help you cook the dish faster and prevent the meat from being tough!
- Beef does not have a strong fishy smell like other types of meat. If possible, just place the beef in the refrigerator for 20 – 30 minutes, helping the meat firm up and easier to cut.
- Additionally, you can marinate the beef with a little cooking oil, which will make the beef more tender and not tough.
- An important note is not to prepare or wash the beef too thoroughly, as doing so will cause some nutrients in the beef to dissolve in water and be lost during cooking.
-
Prepare the salad dressing
In a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of chili sauce, 5g of garlic, 1 small chili pepper chopped, and mix the ingredients well.
-
Stir-fried beef
Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan, then add 40g of minced shallots and sauté until fragrant.
Add the marinated beef to stir-fry and stir continuously until just cooked.
-
Boil long beans
Place a pot on the stove, turn on medium heat, and when the water boils, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then add 100g of long beans to the pot and boil briefly.
Remove the long beans and place them in a bowl of ice water to preserve their green color.
-
Mix the salad
Take the boiled long beans and drain them into a bowl, add the juice of 1 calamondin, the prepared salad dressing, add the beef, and mix the mixture well.
-
Final product
Long bean salad with beef is delicious and unique with tender beef, crunchy long beans, and natural sweetness, complemented by a savory sweet and sour dipping sauce that is truly enticing. Enjoy it right away!
How to choose good dragon beans for cooking

- Choose fresh fruits that are not bruised or have black spots on the body or edges.
