How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Choose Fresh Water Spinach
- Choose water spinach that has bright and natural green colors; when pressed lightly with your hand, it should feel firm.
- Fresh water spinach will have thick, round stems. The roots are minimal, the stems are long and not bruised or damaged.
- Avoid buying water spinach that is darkened, has many wilted leaves, and lots of roots, as this indicates it has been stored for too long, affecting the flavor of the dish when cooked.
How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- Fresh shrimp are those with a clear, firm shell, feel smooth to the touch without any grit, and do not have a slimy texture.
- Choose shrimp that have a straight shape, slightly curved body, firm flesh, with the tail tightly folded together, and the head firmly attached to the body.
- Avoid buying unusually plump shrimp that have a foul odor and feel gritty to the touch, as these are low-quality shrimp.

Prepare the ingredients
For water celery, pick the long stems and discard the roots. Then soak them in a little diluted salt water for about 20 – 30 minutes, then rinse with clean water and drain. Next, use a knife to cut the celery into pieces about 1 – 2 finger lengths.
For the shrimp, rinse them with diluted salt water for about 5 – 10 minutes. Then use scissors to cut off the head of the shrimp. Next, peel the shrimp completely, use the tip of a scissors to cut along the back to remove the intestinal cord, and rinse the shrimp with clean water.
For the green onions, cut off the roots and peel off the outer layer, then rinse with water.

Cooking the soup
Take the green onion tops and put them into a mortar, add 1/2 spoon of ground pepper and pound until fine.
Next, place a pot on the stove, add 1 liter of water and 1/2 of the pounded green onion and pepper mixture, and bring to a boil over high heat. Then, season with 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the pot.
While waiting for the water to boil, add the shrimp into the mortar with the remaining 1/2 of the green onion and pepper, and pound the shrimp until fine.
Once the water boils, add the pounded shrimp mixture, and use a ladle to stir well to prevent the shrimp from clumping.
Finally, add the celery, stir well, and cook for about 3 – 5 minutes until the celery is cooked, then taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking before turning off the heat.
