How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh potatoes
- To buy good potatoes, choose those with smooth, shiny, yellow skin that are intact.
- Choose potatoes that are uniform in size, medium, feel firm and heavy in your hand. Gently pressing will reveal a certain firmness.
- You should not choose potatoes with wrinkled skin or black spots. Also, do not buy those that are too soft as they have been harvested for a long time or are about to spoil.
How to choose fresh cucumbers
- When buying cucumbers, choose those with smooth skin, bright green color, and an even color without yellowing or blemishes.
- Choose cucumbers that are long, straight, and less bent. Holding the cucumber should feel heavy and firm, and gently pressing will reveal a slight firmness.
- Freshly harvested cucumbers have a thin, white powdery coating on the skin, and they may have small, rough bumps.
- You should not choose cucumbers that are overly crooked, or those that are bulging in the middle with smaller ends. These are overripe cucumbers, with many seeds, which do not taste good and may sometimes be bitter.
How to choose fresh carrots
- To get good carrots, you should choose those with bright orange, smooth, and shiny skin.
- Choose carrots that are long, juicy, feel heavy and firm in your hand. Gently pressing will reveal a certain firmness.
- Observe the tops and choose those with a small core to ensure sweet carrots. Do not choose those with large cores, as they will be less sweet and nutritious.
- Also, do not buy carrots that are soft, have scratches, or are bruised as these have been harvested for a long time, are wilted, or spoiled.

Prepare and chop the ingredients
Take 3 potatoes, peel them, wash thoroughly, drain, and cut into small cubes.
Take 20g of carrots and 1 cucumber, peel, wash with water, drain, and then dice.
Cut 3 slices of ham into small cubes just like the carrots and cucumber.
How to prepare potatoes without browning- Method 1: Place the peeled potatoes in a large bowl of water mixed with 2 – 3 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice for 3 – 5 minutes, then remove and drain. Remember to keep the potatoes submerged in water.
- Method 2: Soak the potatoes in water to prevent discoloration. This method is only applicable for potatoes that will be processed immediately because if soaked for too long, the potatoes will become bland and lose their original flavor.
