Cooking tips 💡

• Do not boil fresh oysters in the broth from the beginning—this makes them tough and shrinks their size too much. Add them midway when cooking the soybean sprouts for a tender, chewy texture.
• Adding salted shrimp in large chunks won’t distribute evenly. Chop it finely with a knife before adding for better flavor distribution and a cleaner taste.
• When washing oysters, avoid scrubbing hard with salt—this can damage their surface and cause them to break apart easily. Instead, rinse gently in a light saltwater solution or diluted radish juice.
