How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- Fresh and delicious shrimp will have a transparent color and cling tightly to the body of the shrimp. Do not buy shrimp with discolored or loose legs.
- Make sure to buy shrimp with a slightly curved body, firm flesh, intact shell, and the head firmly attached to the body.
- Do not buy shrimp with a spread tail, loose, missing tail fins, and not neatly stacked together. This may indicate that the shrimp have been caught for a long time and have been soaked in preservatives.
How to prepare Pork Ear Salad with Onion
-
Prepare the pork ear
Mix a solution of 2 tablespoons of vinegar and one tablespoon of salt to prepare the pork ear.
Rub the pork ear thoroughly with the mixed solution, using a knife to scrape the pork ear clean, ensuring all areas are scrubbed to make sure the pork ear is completely clean.
Rinse the pork ear with water and place it in a pot of water to boil.
Add some smashed ginger, green onions, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot, boiling together with the pork ear to completely eliminate the odor.
Boil for about 15 minutes, when the pork ear is cooked, remove it from the pot. Soak in ice water for about 10 minutes and then use a knife to cut the pork ear into thin slices.
-
Preparing the shrimp
After buying the shrimp, wash them thoroughly, remove the heads, legs, and the shrimp’s intestines. Rinse again with clean water and then boil the shrimp with a little salt for about 10 minutes.
Once the shrimp are cooked, place them in a small bowl, wait for them to cool, and then peel off the legs and shells.
-
Preparing other ingredients
For the onion, peel it with a knife, cut it in half, and slice it thinly. Soak the sliced onion in ice water for 20 minutes to completely remove the strong smell of the onion.
Wash the lemon, cut it in half, and squeeze out the juice. For the green onions, wash them thoroughly and take the green parts. After peeling, chop the chili and garlic finely.
Pick the basil leaves, wash them with water, and let them drain. For the ginger, peel it, wash it, and then crush it.

Make the salad dressing
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, minced garlic and chili, along with 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate into a small bowl. Stir well until the mixture is evenly dissolved.
Tip: You can heat the dressing mixture until it thickens; this method will help the salad not become too watery after mixing.

Put all the thinly sliced pork ears, boiled shrimp, and sliced onions into a small bowl. Drizzle the salad dressing evenly over the mixture and then proceed to toss and mix well.

How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good quality pig ears
