How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- To choose fresh shrimp, you should select those with transparent shells that still have a slight smell of seawater, not fishy, and have uniform color.
- When you lift the shrimp, if it does not feel slimy, has a slightly curved body, its tail is curled together, and the head and legs are tightly attached to the body, it is fresh shrimp.
- You should choose shrimp that are firm, not unusually plump, with flexible joints on the body, not disjointed, which indicates fresh and good quality shrimp.
How to choose quality fresh eggs
- For industrial chicken eggs, you should choose those with a dark brown color, evenly colored, without cracks or black spots.
- You should select eggs that have a rough, slightly coarse surface, hold the egg up to the light to see if there are small air chambers, and the yolk is orange or light pink and balanced, which indicates fresh chicken eggs.
- Bring the egg close to your ear, shake it gently; if there is no sound, it is a fresh egg, but if there is a sound, it is an old egg.
How to choose delicious fresh carrots
- To choose fresh carrots, you should select those that are bright orange, feel heavy, and firm when held.
- You should buy carrots with a shiny, smooth outer skin, not rough or showing any unusual tiny spots on the surface, with fresh green tops, as these are delicious fresh carrots.
- You should choose carrots of moderate size, not too large or too small, as they will taste better when cooked.
How to choose delicious dried wood ear mushrooms
- You can choose dried or fresh wood ear mushrooms. However, you should prefer dried wood ear mushrooms for safety!
- Prioritize selecting wood ear mushrooms with large, thick ears and fewer small mushrooms at the base, with a dark amber color, slightly shiny on top, and a milky coffee color on the bottom; these will be very delicious and crunchy.

How to make Steamed Egg with Shrimp
-
Prepare and marinate the shrimp
After buying the shrimp, remove the heads, peel the shells, wash them clean, and then dice them, leaving 4 shrimp for decoration.
Next, put the shrimp in a bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 minced shallot, mix well, and marinate for about 15 minutes.

Prepare the other ingredients
Soak the dried wood ear mushrooms in water for about 2 hours to let them expand, then chop them finely. Peel the carrot, wash it clean, shred it, and then chop it into small pieces.
Next, crack 2 eggs into a bowl, beat them, then add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and strain through a sieve for a smoother egg mixture.
-
Sauté the shrimp and ingredients
Place a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the remaining chopped onion and sauté until fragrant.
Once the onion is fragrant, add the shrimp and stir-fry evenly. When the shrimp meat is firm and turns orange-red, add the chopped carrot and wood ear mushrooms, season with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and stir well.
When the shrimp, carrot, and wood ear mushrooms are cooked, turn off the heat and transfer to a bowl.
