How to choose good carrots
- You should choose carrots that are dark orange in color, with smooth skin, still have fresh green leaves, feel firm when pressed lightly, and are not bruised or damaged.
- You should buy medium or small-sized carrots, with the tips smaller to ensure crunchiness and sweetness when cooking.
- You should not choose overly large carrots as they are usually older, lack sweetness, and may have black spots, bruises, cracks, or green tops.

How to cook Stir-fried Kohlrabi with Beef
-
Prepare and marinate the beef
After buying the beef, slice it thinly, to a size suitable for eating, and then wash it thoroughly.
After preparation, marinate the beef with 1/2 spoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 spoon of seasoning granules, and a little ground pepper, add 1 spoon of minced shallots and garlic, and mix the mixture well. Marinate the beef for about 10 to 15 minutes to let it absorb the flavors.
Tip to reduce the smell of beef:
- Roast 1 piece of ginger until cooked, scrape off the charred outer layer, then pound the ginger and rub it on the beef, leave it for about 3 minutes and then wash it with clean water.
- Since beef does not have a strong odor, you can also rinse the meat briefly with clean water.
- Avoid washing too thoroughly as it will remove the nutrients in the meat, making it less delicious.
-
Prepare other ingredients
Peel the kohlrabi and carrot, then slice them into bite-sized pieces. Note not to cut them too thin, and you can carve the carrot into flower shapes if you like.
Cut the green onion into sections, and split the stalks into halves or thirds.

Stir-fry the dish
Place a pan on the stove, turn on the heat to warm the pan and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, 1 tablespoon of minced shallots, and garlic, sauté until fragrant, then add all the marinated beef to stir-fry.
Stir-fry quickly for about 3 minutes until the beef is just cooked, then transfer it to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan, add all the kohlrabi and stir-fry, seasoning with 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder and 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, then add the carrot.
Stir-fry evenly for about 5-10 minutes until the kohlrabi and carrot are just cooked.
Finally, add the stir-fried beef back into the pan for another 2-3 minutes, then add all the prepared green onions, stir well until the green onions are cooked. The dish is now complete.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- Fresh beef will have a dark red color, evenly colored meat, and a shiny surface on the cut. The piece of meat, when smelled, has a characteristic fresh meat odor, with no strange smell.
- You should choose meat that feels dry to the touch, without any stickiness. You can press the piece of meat; if it is fresh, it will have elasticity and will not leave an indentation when pressed.
- You should not buy meat that feels wet to the touch as it indicates water-soaked beef. For stir-frying, you should choose filet beef as it will be softer and sweeter when cooked.
How to choose fresh and delicious kohlrabi
- You should choose kohlrabi that has a light green color, is intact, not bruised, has a moderately large size, feels heavy in hand, and is not soft.
- You can smell the kohlrabi; if you feel a characteristic fresh vegetable smell without any strange odor, then it is a good one. Additionally, you should buy kohlrabi with a green and fresh leaf stem that is firmly attached to the bulb.
- You should avoid buying pre-peeled kohlrabi as they have a high risk of having been chemically treated. Also, avoid buying bulbs with fallen leaf stems that are no longer attached to the bulb.
- You should avoid purchasing kohlrabi that has a dark green or deep green color as that indicates it is overripe and not tasty.
