How to choose fresh ingredients
How to select quality dried shrimp
- Good dried shrimp will have a natural reddish-pink color and will not show any tiny spots on the surface or change to any unusual color.
- When touched, they should feel firm, and when smelled, there should be no fishy odor, as that could indicate the shrimp have been soaked in chemicals for longer shelf life.
- Additionally, you should avoid choosing shrimp that are dark red, as those are dyed dried shrimp, which can affect health.
How to choose quality pork bones
- Fresh pork bones will have a red color, not turning to any unusual colors, nor showing black bruises or tiny spots on the surface.
- When pressing on the meat, it feels firm, has good elasticity, and is not slimy or too soft.
- At the same time, to enhance the flavor of the dish, you should use fresh pork bones which are tastier than frozen ones.
How to choose fresh and delicious white radish
- Sweet white radishes are mostly slender, while those with thick tails tend to be very bland.
- In addition, fresh and delicious radishes will have a smooth, shiny skin, not scratched, and when pressed, feel solid, not dented or too soft and mushy.
- Moreover, if you observe that the radish has its stem and roots intact, you should buy it immediately as this is a sign that the radish has just been harvested.
- Especially, avoid choosing radishes with smooth, shiny skins but with wilted or rotten stems as these have been treated with chemicals for longer preservation.
Where to buy dried wonton wrappers?
- Dried wonton wrappers can be easily found at markets, supermarkets, or grocery stores near your home. However, be sure to check if the wrappers are broken or moldy.
- Additionally, you can order dried wonton wrappers on e-commerce websites and choose a reputable brand.

Cook the broth
Put a pot on the stove with 500g of chopped white radish, 500g of pork bones, 10g of dried shrimp, 3 liters of water, 1/2 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 2 tablespoons of sugar, and cook over medium heat for 15 – 20 minutes.
When the water boils, reduce to low heat and cook for 45 – 60 minutes until the bones are tender, then add 300g of sliced duck blood, and finally season to taste.
Tip:- Depending on your preference, you can use spare ribs or pork shank instead of pork bones.
- To save time when simmering bones, you can use a lid.
- To keep the broth clear, you should skim off any foam that forms during cooking.
-
Cook the dried shrimp dumplings
Next, using the same broth, add 5 dried dumpling wrappers and cook over medium heat for 5 – 7 minutes until the dumplings turn translucent yellow, indicating they are cooked, then turn off the heat.
Tip: Since you have soaked the dumplings, they will cook very quickly, so there is no need to cook them for too long.
