How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- Choose shrimp that have a natural, even color and no strange smell.
- The tail of the shrimp should be slightly curled and feel firm to the touch. If the tail is curled and soft, it indicates that the shrimp is spoiled and should not be purchased.
- Avoid selecting shrimp with overly tight backs and expanded segments, as these may have been treated with chemicals and are unsafe.
How to choose fresh star fruit
- Choose star fruit that is just ripe, fresh, crispy, without bruised edges, and free from dark spots or dents.
- Avoid buying overripe star fruit as it will become mushy and unappetizing when cooked.

Stir-fried Shrimp
Place a pan on the stove, add 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil, wait for the oil to heat up, then add the thinly sliced shallots, stirring evenly until golden and fragrant.
Once the shallots are golden and aromatic, add the cleaned shrimp, stirring continuously for about 5 – 7 minutes over medium heat until the shrimp turns golden.
When the shrimp has turned golden, add the green starfruit, stirring continuously for about 3 – 5 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of white sugar, 2 teaspoons of monosodium glutamate, 2 teaspoons of seasoning powder, and 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, then stir well to let the shrimp absorb the seasonings.
When the shrimp is golden, taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking, add chopped green onions and a little more cooking oil, stir well, turn off the heat, and serve on a plate to finish.
