How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh, quality chicken eggs
- You should choose chicken eggs with a uniform shell color, without black spots, and when you touch the surface, you can feel a rough, slightly textured surface, which indicates they are fresh eggs.
- Additionally, you can check the freshness of the eggs by shining a light through them; if the yolk is round and does not move, has an orange or light pink color, and the white is clear, then they are fresh chicken eggs.
- Avoid choosing eggs that have pale colors, many black spots, and a smooth surface when touched, as these are eggs that have been stored for a long time and are no longer fresh and tasty.
How to choose delicious, quality shrimp
For fresh shrimp
- You should choose shrimp that have a transparent outer shell, still slightly smell of seawater, and fresh shrimp usually have their tails curled together.
- Avoid selecting shrimp with tails that are spread out, as these may be shrimp that have been injected with water to increase weight.
- Additionally, you should definitely not buy shrimp with curved backs forming a circular shape or showing signs of leaking slimy fluid, as these are shrimp that have been stored for a long time, are no longer fresh, and will not ensure a delicious flavor when cooked.
For dried shrimp
- You should choose dried shrimp that have a natural orange color or slightly yellowish, have a natural smell, and when touched, they should feel firm and have a certain dryness, not be damp.
- It is necessary to avoid buying dried shrimp with unusual bright colors, the outer shell has black or white spots, has an unusual smell, or shows signs of mold.

Sausages should be peeled and sliced into bite-sized pieces.

Boil eggs and shrimp
Put the chicken eggs in a pot filled with water, place the pot on the stove and boil over high heat for about 6 – 10 minutes depending on how cooked you want the eggs. After the eggs are cooked, turn off the heat, take the eggs out to cool, then peel them, and use a knife to cut them in half.
Similarly, put the shrimp in a pot, add a little water to cover the shrimp, then cover with a lid, cook over medium heat until the shrimp turn red and be sure to stir continuously. After that, take the shrimp out to a basket to cool, peel off the shell, and remove the shrimp heads.

Fry shallots
Place a pot on the stove, add 100ml of cooking oil and wait for the oil to heat up, then add the shallots, turning the heat to medium and stirring evenly until the shallots are cooked evenly.
You will continue to stir until the shallots shrink and turn golden, then turn off the heat, transfer the shallots to a basket or bowl and let them cool to make them crispier.

Blanch the noodles
Turn on the stove and boil about 500ml of water. When the water boils, add the instant noodles and blanch for about 30 seconds until the noodles are just cooked, then turn off the heat and drain the noodles in a colander.

Make Dried Shrimp Chili Salt

Then add a mixture of seasonings to the pan, including: crushed dried shrimp, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate.
Next, stir well for about 2 minutes until the dried shrimp are evenly coated with the seasoning and fluffed up, then you can turn off the heat.

Completion
