How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh potatoes
- You should buy firm, heavy potatoes with smooth skin, intact and yellow color
- Choose potatoes without deep dents for quicker and easier preparation before cooking.
- Avoid potatoes with spots, worms, black eyes on the skin, not rotten, and without liquid leaking out.
- Do not choose potatoes that have sprouted or have a green outer layer, as these are very toxic and harmful to health.
How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- Prioritize choosing pieces of beef that are bright red with white marbling and fresh yellow fat, the meat should have good firmness and elasticity, not sticky to the touch, and have no unusual smell.
- It is advisable to choose tender, small pieces of beef that do not look too smooth.
- Conversely, do not buy pieces of beef that are pale green or dark red, with dark yellow fat, and feel mushy and slimy to the touch.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Choose medium-sized carrots with smooth skin, deep orange color, firm to the touch, and with fresh green tops tightly attached to the root.
- Avoid choosing oversized carrots with light orange color, as these may have been stored for too long and are not as crisp and tasty as fresh carrots.

How to prepare potato beef

Prepare the ingredients
Wash the carrots and dice them. Peel the onion and dice it. Wash the potatoes, peel them, and cut them into small square pieces about the thickness of a finger joint.
To remove the smell of beef, rub the piece of beef with 1 shallot for about 10 minutes, then rinse it with water several times. After that, cut the beef into small pieces and put it in a blender to puree.
Tip: You can choose to peel or not peel the carrots. Because most of the nutrients are contained in the carrot skin, peeling it will lose the nutrients.How to clean beef properly and remove the smell
-
- Method 1: Roast a small piece of ginger until cooked, then peel off the outer layer, crush it, rub it evenly around the beef, and rinse it with water.
- Method 2: Soak the beef in white wine for about 15 minutes, then rinse it under cold water.
- Method 3: Boil a pot of cold water, then blanch the beef for about 3 minutes, take it out, and rinse it with cold water.
- Method 4: Roast a shallot until dry, then peel it, crush it, and marinate it with the beef.

Steam and mash the potatoes
After cutting the potatoes into small pieces, place them in a small bowl and steam for 15 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
Then, take them out, let them cool slightly, and mash them with a blender.
Tip: If you don’t have a blender at home, after steaming the potatoes until soft, you can mash them with a spoon or fork until they are smooth.

Cook the soup
Place a pot on the stove and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add diced onion and sauté until fragrant.
Next, add the beef and carrots, stir-fry for about 3 – 5 minutes until cooked. Add about 1/3 bowl of water (approximately 300 – 400ml) and bring to a boil.
Finally, add the mashed potatoes, stirring until the potatoes are evenly mixed into the mixture. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then turn off the heat.
Tip: When seasoning to taste, if you find it slightly bland, that’s fine; children cannot eat like adults. If it is too salty for adult tastes, it can affect the child’s health and taste buds.
