How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- When buying fresh shrimp, you should choose live shrimp with a transparent shell, smelling of seawater, with a straight body, not curled into a circle.
- Avoid buying shrimp that are leaking water, with a bent body, and feel gritty when pressed with your hand.
- Additionally, to choose good shrimp, you should observe the shrimp’s legs, head, and tail. Good shrimp will have tails that are tightly folded, with legs and heads firmly attached, not falling off the shrimp’s body.
How to choose delicious chicken leg mushrooms
- You should choose fresh chicken leg mushrooms that are 12 – 15cm long. If they are longer, the mushrooms will be hollow, not fresh, and less sweet.
- Fresh mushrooms will have a very distinctive aroma, similar to almonds, the cap will be brown, shiny, without scratches, bruises, or wrinkles, and will have a thin layer of fluff on top of the cap.
- Avoid buying mushrooms that have a foul smell, are bruised, soft, or have uneven colors.

Prepare the shrimp
To eliminate the fishy smell, after removing the shells, heads, and legs of the shrimp, you use a knife to cut along the back of the shrimp and then use the tip of the knife to remove the shrimp’s intestinal tract. After that, rinse the shrimp twice with diluted salt water, then take them out and let them drain.
Quick tip to remove shrimp intestines
- Method 1: Turn the shrimp upside down, hold the head of the shrimp with one hand and the upper part of the shrimp’s body with the other hand, keeping the two points of contact about one finger’s width apart. Next, gently bend the head of the shrimp and squeeze lightly from the bottom up to push the waste at the head of the shrimp out. Hold the shrimp waste and slowly pull the intestinal tract out of the body. Be careful not to pull too quickly to avoid breaking the shrimp’s intestine.
- Method 2: Turn the shrimp over, hold the body of the shrimp with one hand, and with the other hand, peel the sides of the shrimp’s head, holding tightly at the joint of the head and body, then slowly separate the head from the body. At this time, the shrimp intestine will also be pulled out along with the waste at the head of the shrimp.

Preparing mushrooms
Use a knife to cut off the dirty part of the mushroom stem, then soak it in diluted saltwater for about 3 minutes, then remove it and rinse with clean water. After that, cut the mushrooms into small, bite-sized strips.
