How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh carrots
- To choose good carrots, select those that are bright orange, with fresh green tops firmly attached to the body.
- Good carrots should be of moderate size, straight in shape, tapering towards the tail, and have a smooth skin.
- Additionally, when buying, you can press the body of the carrot with your hand. If it feels firm and solid, then it is a good carrot; otherwise, if the carrot is soft and mushy, it won’t taste good and has less nutrition.
- Avoid choosing carrots with wilted tops, bruised bodies, slimy parts, or spots of discoloration.
How to choose fresh and delicious corn
- When buying, you should choose corn cobs with bright green outer husks, the silk inside remains soft and smooth, and the husk tightly hugs the corn cob.
- Additionally, you should select cobs that have stalks that are not bruised or wilted. The kernels should not be shriveled, crinkled, and should be plump, shiny, and arranged in straight rows.
- Do not choose cobs that are too large but have an asymmetrical weight because they will be less nutritious and not tasty.
How to choose and where to buy seaweed
- When buying seaweed, you need to pay attention to the expiration date printed on the product packaging and should choose seaweed from well-known brands that are widely used.
- Do not choose products that are not well packaged as they will not be preserved properly, and the quality will not be guaranteed.
- Currently, you can buy seaweed at markets, supermarkets, TasteVN stores, or reputable e-commerce sites like bachhoaxanh.com.
- Currently, the average price for a 200g pack of dried seaweed for rolling sushi ranges from 22,000 to 39,000 VND

How to prepare Colorful Steamed Shrimp Omelette
-
Prepare the ingredients
Shrimp after buying should be washed, peeled, deveined, then split the back of the shrimp in half. Use a pestle to lightly pound the shrimp meat until slightly broken, which will help the shrimp absorb the seasoning more evenly.
Peel the carrot, wash it clean, and chop it finely. Boil the sweet corn until cooked, and separate the kernels. Chop the green onions and cilantro finely.
-
Mix the filling
Put the ingredients you just prepared including: pounded shrimp, minced meat, boiled corn, carrot, chopped green onions, and chopped cilantro into a bowl. Next, add in the bowl: 1/3 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1/3 teaspoon of ground pepper, 2 teaspoons of seasoning powder.
Mix well until the ingredients are blended together. Marinate the mixture for about 15 minutes.
-
Fried Eggs
While waiting for the filling mixture to soak evenly, crack 2 eggs into a bowl along with 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water, adding 1/4 teaspoon of salt to make the eggs flavorful after frying. Whisk the mixture of eggs, cornstarch, and water until well combined.
Place a pan on the stove, take a paper towel soaked in cooking oil, and then spread a very thin, even layer around the surface of the pan.
Pour the eggs in and tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly, frying on low heat until the eggs are just set on the surface. Place on a cutting board and let the eggs cool for about 10 minutes.
Note:
- The eggs should be fried on low heat to have enough time to cook through and set the surface, ensuring the bottom of the eggs does not burn.
- This step of frying the eggs needs to be done evenly; the eggs must cover the surface of the pan well, so that when rolling the filling and seaweed, the eggs do not break or crumble, and the final product looks beautiful.

Rolling and steaming shrimp rolled eggs
After the eggs have cooled, cut the eggs into squares longer than the seaweed leaves by about 1/2 finger length. Then place the seaweed on top of the eggs, spread the shrimp and meat filling evenly while leaving about 1/2 finger length free, and roll the eggs, seaweed, shrimp, and meat together like a sushi roll.
Next, bring 1.5 liters of water to a boil in a pot over high heat, then place each egg roll into the steamer, set the steamer over the pot, and cook on high heat for about 5 minutes, then reduce to medium heat and continue steaming for about 3 more minutes until the shrimp and meat filling is cooked, then turn off the heat.
Take the cooked egg rolls out and cut them into bite-sized pieces about 1.5 – 2 finger lengths long. Now you can arrange them on a plate and enjoy!
Tip:- To prevent the egg rolls from breaking, don’t roll them too tightly!
- To make rolling easier, when you get to the part of the seaweed without filling, dampen it slightly with water so that the seaweed sticks better to the egg layer.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Chicken Eggs
- Fresh chicken eggs usually have dark brown or white shells, are uniformly colored, without cracks, and no black spots.
- In addition, you can use your hand to feel the surface of the eggshell; if the surface is rough and a bit coarse, then it is fresh chicken eggs, while a smooth surface indicates that the egg has been stored for quite some time.
- Do not buy chicken eggs if you see a large air cell when held up to the light, and the yolk is red and has spots, as these are old chicken eggs.
How to choose fresh delicious shrimp
- You should choose shrimp with a translucent outer shell that still has a slight smell of seawater, not fishy.
- Fresh shrimp will have a tail that curls up, a slightly curved body, firm flesh but not unusually plump, the shell joints on the shrimp’s body are flexible, not loose, the head and body of the shrimp are tightly connected, not falling off from the body.
- Avoid buying shrimp with a spread-out tail because these shrimp have been pumped with chemicals or injected with water to make them plump.
- To ensure quality, you should choose fresh shrimp sold at seafood stores or reputable supermarkets!
How to quickly remove shrimp’s back vein
- Method 1: Use a knife to make a cut along the shrimp’s back and then pull the vein out.
- Method 2: Turn the shrimp upside down, use one hand to hold the shrimp’s body, and with the other hand, peel the sides of the shrimp’s head, then hold tightly the part connecting the head and body, gradually separate the head from the body. At this point, the vein is attached to the part in the shrimp’s head, so it will be pulled out along with it.
- Method 3: Count backward from the shrimp’s tail to the second groove, connecting the two shell segments, pierce a toothpick through and pull to remove the vein.
