How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- Fresh, good-quality shrimp will have a translucent color and cling tightly to the shrimp body. Do not buy shrimp with discolored or loose legs.
- Pay attention to buying shrimp with slightly curved bodies, firm meat, intact shells, and heads firmly attached to the body.
- Do not buy shrimp with spread-out, loose tails, missing tail fins, and not neatly arranged. It may indicate that the shrimp has been caught for a long time or soaked in preservatives.
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Naturally ripe tomatoes have a plump skin and bright red color. If you look closely, you will see specks of pulp through the skin. When cut open, the flesh will be bright red with plenty of pulp and white seeds.
- You should choose firm tomatoes; avoid soft ones as they spoil quickly and bruise easily.
- If the stem of the tomato is bright green and tightly attached to the body, it means the fruit is naturally ripe.
- Compared to naturally ripe tomatoes, chemically treated tomatoes often lack fragrance, are not red, and are quite firm. When cooked, they take a long time to soften, have little pulp, and a pale red color.
Where to buy pickled cucumbers?
- Pickled cucumbers are often used in hamburgers to enhance the flavor as well as make the dish less greasy when eaten.
- Pickled cucumbers used in hamburgers are mostly produced in cans, and you can find them at import stores or large supermarkets!
- If you can’t find the standard canned pickled cucumbers, you can also make them at home following the instructions from TasteVN.

Prepare ingredients
First, peel the onion and dice it. Next, chop the pickled cucumber.
Then, wash the tomatoes and slice them thinly. Separate the lettuce leaves, wash them thoroughly, and let them drain.
Shrimp should be peeled and deveined, then washed; half should be minced and the other half cut into small pieces.

Mix the shrimp filling
Put all the prepared shrimp from above into a bowl, add 6 tablespoons of potato starch (or cornstarch), half of the diced onion, 1/3 tablespoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water, then mix well.
-
Coat and fry the shrimp filling
Prepare 3 bowls: one bowl with 4 beaten eggs, one bowl containing 200g of all-purpose flour, and one bowl containing 200g of bread crumbs (or tempura flour).
Take a small amount of shrimp filling, roll it into a ball, then slightly flatten it, and then dip the filling in the following order: flour, beaten eggs, bread crumbs. Repeat with the remaining filling.
Place a pan on the stove, add 350ml of cooking oil and heat it, then add the shrimp filling and fry over medium-low heat until golden brown on both sides. Finally, remove the shrimp filling to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Completion
Place a new pan on the stove, add about 5 grams of unsalted butter and melt it.
Cut the hamburger buns in half horizontally, then place the inside face of the buns in the pan. Grill on low heat until the buns are slightly charred.
Next, put the remaining onion in a bowl along with pickled cucumber, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 1/3 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of Wasabi, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, and a bit of pepper. Mix well until the sauce is combined.
Finally, spread the sauce on the bun, place a slice of cheddar cheese, tomato, and the fried shrimp filling on top. Then, add a bit more sauce along with lettuce and top it off with the other half of the bun to complete.
