How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- Fresh shrimp have a transparent shell, while if you observe a dark or unevenly colored shell, it means the shrimp has died, and the meat will be mushy and not tasty.
- Moreover, good shrimp are those that feel strong, healthy, and can jump far, and the head and body are still tightly attached, not separated.
- If the shrimp have their tails curled together, that is a sign of freshness, while shrimp that have been injected with chemicals or pumped with water will have their tails spread out.
- Avoid buying shrimp that feel slimy when touched, have a rounded, bent body, broken legs, and especially if pressing on the shell feels soft and mushy.
How to choose delicious, quality fish balls
- Delicious, quality fish balls are those that have a milky white color, round shape, and do not have any tiny spots or unusual colors on the surface.
- When pressed with your hand, the fish balls should feel soft, not too hard, and especially not slimy.
- You should limit buying fish balls if you smell an unusual fishy odor, as it may indicate that the fish balls have been left too long and are no longer edible.

- You can easily find spicy noodles in packages at supermarkets, markets, grocery stores, or at TasteVN stores near your home!

Prepare the ingredients
First, for the shrimp you bought, peel off the shell, remove the head, and also take out the vein along the back, then rinse briefly with water until clean and drain.
Next, cut the napa cabbage off the stem, separate it into individual leaves, rinse directly under running water to clean off any remaining dirt, drain, and then cut into pieces using a knife.
Finally, for the green onions, cut off the roots, rinse with water until clean, drain, and cut into pieces.
Tip: Depending on your preference, you can leave the shrimp whole or peel them completely!

Boil quail eggs
At the same time, you put a pot on the stove with 200ml of water and 10 quail eggs, boil on high heat for about 10 minutes.
When you see the quail eggs floating on the surface, it means they are cooked, then turn off the heat, take them out into a bowl to cool for 5 minutes and then peel them.

Cook the noodles
After preparing the ingredients, place another pot on the stove with 200ml of water and bring it to a boil over high heat for about 5 minutes.
Once the water is boiling, add 2 packets of spicy noodle seasoning, and use a spoon to stir well to dissolve the seasoning. Next, add all the peeled shrimp along with fish balls and napa cabbage, and continue cooking for another 3 minutes.
When the water comes to a boil again, add the remaining 2 packets of spicy noodles, gently press the noodles down with a spoon to ensure they are submerged in the water, and cook for 4 minutes.
When the noodles have softened, add 10 quail eggs along with all the chopped scallions, stir well again, then season to taste, and turn off the heat to serve in a bowl.
Tip: To ensure the noodles are delicious and flavorful when cooked, you should separate the ingredients to cook each packet of noodles.
