Prepare and blanch the shrimp
Buy shrimp, clean the veins, rinse with water, and place in a basket to drain excess water.

- Start counting backward from the shrimp’s tail to the second groove, connecting between two segments of the shrimp shell, gently bend the shrimp’s body, and then use a toothpick to easily pull the shrimp’s vein out.

Preparation of pig heart and liver
Purchase pig heart and use salt to rub into every nook and cranny of the heart, then rinse with clean water, and cut into thin slices. Rinse again to remove blood, then marinate in cold ice water for about 10 – 15 minutes.
Wash the pig liver with warm water mixed with a bit of vinegar and salt to reduce the fishy smell. Drain and cut into thin slices.
Then blanch the heart and liver in boiling water, wait until the water boils again, stir evenly, then turn off the heat and remove to drain.
How to properly clean pig heart
- To clean the pig heart, cut it in half, place the heart in a basin and massage thoroughly with salt, removing all clotted blood, then rinse with cold water.
- Next, dilute vinegar with water, place the pig heart in and massage thoroughly, then rinse several times with water.
- For even cleaner heart, mix a bit of white wine with water, massage the heart well, and rinse again to help clean the heart and eliminate the fishy smell.
How to clean pig liver, eliminating the foul smell
- Soak the pig liver in milk for about 30 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Unsweetened fresh milk not only cleans the pig liver but also effectively eliminates odors.
- Soak the pig liver in salt water for about 1 – 2 hours. Then rinse with clean water. Salt will help disinfect the inside of the liver and remove harmful bacteria clinging to it.

Prepare other ingredients
Bok choy bought should be washed clean, cut the tough stems into small pieces, keeping the green leaves intact.
Carrots bought should have their skins removed, washed clean, carved into flower shapes, then sliced thinly for easy eating. Blanch the carrots in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then quickly remove them and place them in a colander to drain.
Tip: To help the carrots maintain their crispness as well as their bright color, you can soak the blanched carrots in ice water for 10 – 15 minutes.

Blanching Noodles
Place a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil over high heat, then add the noodles and blanch for about 1 – 2 minutes. Add about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and mix well. Check the softness of the noodles; if they are to your liking, remove them and place them in a strainer to drain excess water.
Mix a combination of 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and add the blanched noodles, using chopsticks to mix the noodles thoroughly. The oil helps prevent the noodles from sticking together.
How to Blanch Noodles Properly, Without Being Mushy
- Do not blanch the noodles for too long; when stir-frying, the noodles will become mushy and overly soft, which is not tasty. Blanching the noodles just until cooked is sufficient.
- After removing them, you can quickly rinse the noodles with cold water to help them firm up and retain their chewy texture without becoming too soft.
-
Stir-frying Noodles
Mix the sauce ingredients with 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and stir well with a spoon to completely dissolve the mixture.
Heat a pan on the stove and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, sauté 1 tablespoon of minced garlic until fragrant. When the garlic is fragrant, add the pork heart and liver to the pan and stir-fry together.
Season with 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and stir well.
Add bok choy and carrots, stir-fry continuously over medium-high heat until the ingredients start to cook evenly. Pour in the sauce mixture and mix well, then you can turn off the heat.
Add the previously blanched noodles and mix them with the shrimp, heart, liver, and vegetables that have just been stir-fried to complete the dish.
-

With just a few simple steps, you have a fragrant plate of stir-fried noodles, vibrant in color from fresh ingredients, with a sweet and light flavor from bok choy, shrimp, heart, and pig liver, along with seasoning that is just right for taste.
