How to Choose Good Chicken Eggs
- Use your sense of touch: Feel the surface of the eggshell with your hand; if the surface is rough and slightly coarse, it is a fresh egg, while a smooth surface indicates that the egg has been stored for a while.
- Shake the egg gently: If there is no sound, it is a fresh chicken egg. Conversely, if there is a noise, it indicates that the egg has been stored for a long time; the louder the sound, the more likely the egg is spoiled or is an egg that a hen is incubating.

Then, add 1/2 tablespoon of dark soy sauce and 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce to the pan, then toss the pan vigorously for about 2 minutes to let the pho absorb the seasoning.
Finally, use scissors to cut the green onion leaves and add them to the pan; stir-fry for another minute until the onions are cooked, and it’s done.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good shrimp:
- Fresh and good shrimp will have transparent color and cling tightly to the shrimp body. Do not buy shrimp with discolored, loose legs.
- Pay attention to buying shrimp with slightly curved bodies, firm meat, intact shells, and heads that are tightly attached to the body.
- Do not buy shrimp with spread-out, loose tails, missing tail fins, and not neatly arranged. It may be that the shrimp have been caught for a long time and soaked in preservatives.

How to choose fresh, delicious mustard greens:
- Although mustard greens can be grown year-round, the best time to plant them is from September to April. At this time, the mustard will be very tender, with green, thin leaves, thick stems, and no roughness or pests.
- You should choose mustard plants that are not wilted, not eaten by pests, and not bruised. Especially, do not choose mustard that has gone to flower, as it will be old and taste very strong and pungent.
- It is advisable to go to the market or supermarket early to select fresh, delicious mustard greens.

Prepare the ingredients
For the shrimp, cut off the head and legs, peel off the shell, then gently squeeze the body of the shrimp to pull out the intestine a little, then use your hand to remove it. After that, wash the shrimp and drain.
How to quickly and correctly remove the shrimp intestine
- Count backward from the shrimp tail to the second groove between the two segments of the shrimp shell, insert a toothpick through this position and gently pull the black intestine out.
- You don’t need to cut the back of the shrimp with a knife; you can also use a toothpick to dig out the head of the shrimp body to see the black thread. Gently pull this black thread out and the shrimp will be clean.
Wash the mustard greens, removing any yellow or wormy leaves (if present), then soak in saltwater for about 15 minutes, rinse well with water, drain, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the onion and slice it thinly. Peel the carrot, wash it thoroughly, and then use a knife to cut it into thin strips. Cut the chili into rings. Chop the green onions finely.
How to cut onions without making your eyes tear up
- If you are afraid of cutting onions and getting tears, you can chew on a piece of bread while cutting the onion. The mouth movement helps minimize the amount of onion juice that splashes into your eyes effectively.
- Due to the tubular structure of the onion’s flesh, cut the onion horizontally to avoid onion drops splashing into your eyes.
- Before cutting, you can soak the onion in saltwater or wrap it in paper; the acidity or ionic properties in vinegar and salt can alter the onion’s enzymes, reducing pungency.

Sautéing shrimp and ingredients
Place a pan on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and heat it up, then add 1 teaspoon of minced shallots and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic to sauté until fragrant.
When the shallots and garlic are aromatic, add the shrimp meat and stir evenly over medium heat until the shrimp turns color and is cooked through.
Next, add 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 50ml of water into the pan, then stir well and continue to cook until the sauce boils.
Then, add the carrots to the pan and stir for about 2 minutes. After that, add the onions and bell peppers and sauté for another 2 minutes until the ingredients are just cooked.
Next, add the mustard greens to the pan, stir well over high heat for another minute.
Tip:
- It is recommended to sauté vegetables over high heat and not to cook them too long to prevent them from releasing water and to maintain their crispness.
- Add the mustard greens last to keep their natural green color.
