- Do not buy carrots that are too large, have bruises, cracks on the skin, wilted tops, or are not fresh green.
- Do not buy carrots with wrinkled skin, where pressing on the body feels soft, lacks elasticity, and is light in weight.

Ingredients for Vegetarian rice noodle stir-fry (recipe shared by a user) Serves 3 people
Rice noodles 200 gr Fried tofu 2 pieces Green beans 100 gr (string beans) Bean sprouts 50 gr Chives 50 gr Soy sauce 2 teaspoons Oyster sauce 1 teaspoon Cooking oil a little Sugar a little Vegetarian seasoning a little
How to choose fresh, crunchy green beans
- Fresh and delicious green beans are those with green stems, looking fresh, and do not have any unusual black spots on the surface or are not distinctly uneven in color.
- Additionally, you should choose green beans that are long and flat, not bulging. Because most old beans that do not taste good have many bulges.
- Moreover, you should avoid buying green beans that look too attractive, such as being shiny, having very few hairs, and not showing signs of pests or powdery residue, as this may indicate that the beans have been sprayed with a lot of pesticides, and the remaining residues are extremely harmful to health.

Prepare the ingredients
First, put a pot on the stove with 300ml of water and boil it over high heat. When the water boils, add 200gr of rice noodles and blanch for about 3 minutes. When the rice noodles are soft, turn off the stove and drain them in a basket.
For the tofu, use a knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces.
For the green beans, cut off both ends, and simultaneously peel off the fibers on both sides of the beans, wash them a few times with water until clean, drain, and then cut them into diagonal pieces.
For the bean sprouts and chives, remove any damaged or wilted parts, wash them 1-2 times with water until clean, and drain. Finally, use a knife to cut the chives into bite-sized pieces.
