How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- Choose shrimp of moderate size, not too large, with intact shells, and heads firmly attached to the body.
- The shrimp tail is neatly folded, and the legs are transparent, firmly attached to the body.
- The shrimp body is slightly curved, firm and taut meat, with the smell of seawater.
- Avoid buying shrimp that are mushy, leaking slimy fluid, with inconsistent colors or strange odors.
How to choose fresh and delicious broccoli
- Choose broccoli that has a deep green color, uniform in color on all sides of the plant.
- Select those with a moderately large size, round and symmetrical; when held, they feel firm, heavy, and solid.
- Avoid buying broccoli that has turned yellow, is wilted, bruised, infested with pests, or has a foul smell.
How to choose fresh and delicious pineapple
- Choose pineapples that have an eye-catching yellow color, sometimes with spots of green. These are the delicious and moderately sweet fruits.
- It is best to buy those with a slightly round shape, shorter fruits as they will have more flesh than the long ones.
- Choose pineapples with larger eyes as they are ripe and naturally sweet.
- However, you should not buy pineapples with overly dark yellow skin, as the inside may be overripe and have a rotten smell.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- Choose tomatoes that are bright red, round, juicy, with a plump skin that is not scratched.
- The green stem of the tomato should be fresh, not wilted, and tightly attached to the fruit, indicating they were recently harvested.
- Naturally ripened tomatoes will have a light fragrant smell, while artificially ripened ones will have no smell.
- Avoid buying tomatoes that are uneven in color, soft and mushy, with wrinkled skin and small bruises.
How to choose fresh and delicious onions
- Choose onions that are round in shape with long roots as these are the good bulbs.
- Choose bulbs with bright, smooth, firm skin that tightly hug the body.
- When holding the onion, it should feel hard, heavy, and solid, without any soft or hard spots.
- Avoid buying onions that have sprouted as they usually taste bad and contain fewer nutrients.
How to prepare Stir-fried Shrimp with Vegetables

Prepare the ingredients
Shrimp should be peeled, heads, tails, and antennae removed, then washed and drained.
Pineapple should be peeled, eyes removed, washed, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Tomatoes washed and cut into wedges.
Cauliflower should be separated into small florets, washed, and drained. Onions peeled, washed, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
How to cut onions without making your eyes sting:- Method 1: Place the onion in the freezer refrigerator for about 10 – 15 minutes and then cut it to reduce eye irritation when cutting onions.
- Method 2: Since the structure of the onion is tubular, cut the onion horizontally to avoid the onion juice splashing into your eyes.
- Method 3: When cutting onions, keep the root part until the end, which will be very effective in preventing eye irritation while cutting.

Boil broccoli and stir-fry shrimp
Place a pot on the stove with 300ml of filtered water and 1 spoon of salt, boil over high heat.
When the water boils, add the broccoli and boil for about 3 minutes, then take it out and put it in a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes, then take it out to drain. This will help the broccoli maintain its vibrant green color and crunchiness.
Put a pan on the stove with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the peeled shrimp and stir-fry evenly.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the shrimp are firm and absorb the seasoning, then transfer to a plate.
-
Sautéed shrimp with vegetables
Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into the pan where the shrimp was sautéed, and when the oil is hot, add in the sliced onion, pineapple, broccoli, and tomato and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
Next, pour 1/4 bowl of water (rice bowl) into the pan, stir well for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are cooked evenly.
Then, add the sautéed shrimp along with 2 teaspoons of seasoning powder, 2 teaspoons of broth seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of salt, stir-fry for about 2 minutes to let the ingredients absorb the seasoning, adjust the seasoning to taste, and then turn off the heat.
