How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- When buying fresh shrimp, you should choose live shrimp with transparent shells, smelling of seawater, with straight bodies, not curled into a circle.
- Avoid buying shrimp that are leaking water, have curved bodies, and feel gritty when pressed with your hand.
- Additionally, to choose good shrimp, you should observe the legs, head, and tail of the shrimp. Good shrimp will have tails neatly folded together, with legs and heads firmly attached, not falling off the shrimp body.

How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- You should choose tomatoes with smooth skin, juicy and bright red color, and with green stems.
- Avoid choosing fruits that are bruised or have small black spots, or have uneven colors of both green and red.
- If you touch them and they feel too soft or too hard, or if juice comes out, you should not buy them as they may be spoiled.

How to choose fresh and delicious bok choy
- Choose bok choy with bright green color, smooth leaves, without bruises or black spots, not wilted or yellowing leaves.
- Good bok choy usually has thick, sturdy stems, and the base swells out, feeling heavy in hand.
- It is best to go to the market or supermarket early to select fresh, green bok choy.

How to prepare Stir-fried shrimp with tomatoes and vegetables
-
Prepare the shrimp
Peel the shrimp, remove the heads and legs, then cut along the back of the shrimp with a knife and use the tip of the knife to remove the shrimp vein. After that, wash the shrimp twice with diluted salt water, then drain.
Tip for quickly removing the shrimp vein
- You can count back from the shrimp tail to the second groove connecting the two shell segments, insert a toothpick through this spot and gently pull the black vein out.
- You don’t need to cut the back of the shrimp; you can also use a toothpick to remove the head part of the shrimp body to find the black vein. Gently pull this black thread out and the shrimp is clean.
-
Prepare the remaining ingredients
Wash the bok choy thoroughly, soak it in diluted salt water for about 5 minutes, then wash it clean again and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Wash the tomatoes, then cut them into wedges.

Stir-fry tomatoes with shrimp and bok choy
Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan, when the oil is hot, add minced garlic and fry until fragrant, then add the tomatoes and stir-fry for 2 minutes before adding the shrimp.
Add 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder to the pan, stir well to let the shrimp absorb the seasoning for about 4 minutes, then add the bok choy and stir-fry for another 2 minutes before turning off the heat, sprinkle some coriander and ground pepper on top to finish.
Tip: You should not stir-fry the bok choy for too long as it will make the bok choy wilt, causing the dish to lose its flavor.
