Ingredients for Stir-fried baby corn with mixed vegetables (Vegetarian) Serves 2
Baby corn 200 gr Green beans 200 gr Carrot 1 piece Tomato 1 piece Garlic 1/2 bulb Shallots 3 bulbs Spring onions 2 stalks Herbs A little Cilantro A little Soy sauce 1 teaspoon Fish sauce 1 teaspoon Oyster sauce 1 teaspoon Common spices A little (sugar/ salt/ monosodium glutamate)
How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh green beans
- You should choose green beans that have a green stem, look fresh, are firm and crunchy, with seeds that are medium-sized, not too large or too small.
- Good green beans are usually elongated, flat, and do not have bulging round spots.
- Avoid choosing green beans that have a shiny surface, few hairs, and are not eaten by pests or have dark spots, as they may have been sprayed with pesticides, which is not good for health.
How to choose fresh carrots
- Good carrots will have a bright orange color; choose those with a medium size because if they are too large, they are old carrots, and if they are too small (except for mini carrots), they are young carrots without a distinctive flavor.
- Observe the carrot leaves; the greener the leaves, the fresher the carrot is, as it has just been harvested; conversely, if the leaves are less green, the carrot has been stored for a long time and is less sweet and fresh.
- Do not buy carrots that feel a bit soft when pressed; these are wilted carrots, and they will not taste good when cooked.
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- You should choose tomatoes that have a bright red outer skin, evenly colored, without scratches or damage. Naturally ripe tomatoes often have a light fragrant smell, feel firm and heavy in your hand.
- Additionally, you can observe the stem; ripe and fresh tomatoes usually have a green stem that is tightly attached to the tomato.
- Do not buy tomatoes that have a mix of red and green colors or have black spots on the skin; these tomatoes are usually very bland and lack flavor.

Peel the carrot, divide it into two parts: one part into thin slices, and the other part into thin lengthwise slices, then use a wavy knife to cut it into strips for a more attractive appearance.
Wash the tomatoes and cut them into wedges. Wash the green onions, herbs, and cilantro, then chop them finely.
