How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good and safe potatoes
- When buying potatoes, you should choose those with a golden, smooth skin, feel heavy, and have no spots, rot, or black eyes on the skin.
- Do not choose potatoes that are rotten, leaking, have white, wrinkled skin, or feel soft when pressed. Because these tubers do not have as many nutrients inside as other ones.
- Additionally, you should not buy sprouted potatoes, as they are in a phase of increasing the content of glycoalkaloids which can cause poisoning and are unsafe to eat.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- When buying carrots, you should choose those that are still fresh, of moderate size, and elongated towards the tail. Because these will be sweeter and more nutritious.
- In addition, fresh carrots will have the tops firmly attached to the body of the root, and when picked up, they feel slightly hard and firm.
- Do not choose carrots that have crushed tops and stems, feel soft and mushy when picked up, and have bruises on the root.

Prepare the ingredients
Potatoes and carrots bought should be peeled, washed clean, and then cut into small, bite-sized pieces, about the length of one finger.
Green onions should only have the roots cut off, washed clean, and chopped small. Dried shrimp should be soaked in a bowl for about 3 minutes to expand, then rinse with water.

Simmer potatoes, carrots with dried shrimp
Next, add the cleaned dried shrimp along with the diced carrots and potatoes into the pot and then add about 800ml of water so that the water level just covers the surface of the potatoes, then cover with a lid.
Boil on high heat for about 3 minutes until the water in the pot boils, then reduce the heat to low and use a spoon to mix the carrots, potatoes, and dried shrimp together, then cook for another 2 minutes until the carrots and potatoes are just cooked.
-
Seasoning
After the carrots and potatoes are just cooked, you break a dried chili in half and add 1/2 spoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar into the pot.
Then, use a spoon to mix the vegetables in the pot so that the seasonings blend into the soup and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the carrots and potatoes are soft, then taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking before turning off the stove.

Completion
Finally, you just need to sprinkle the finely chopped scallions on the surface of the soup and we can enjoy it!
