How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh carrots
- Fresh carrots usually have a bright orange color, medium size, elongated shape, and are not dented.
- When buying, also observe the leaf stems; the greener the stems, the fresher the carrots, as they have just been harvested; conversely, if they are less green, the carrots have been stored for a long time and are less fresh and sweet.
- Do not buy carrots that feel a bit soft when pressed; that means they are wilted and will not taste good when cooked.
How to choose fresh and delicious onions
- Good onions have a thin, smooth, shiny skin, uniform color, and tightly hug the inner bulb.
- When buying, you should choose bulbs with many roots, of moderate size—not too large and not too small; when picked up, they should feel firm and be dry and smooth to the touch.
- Avoid choosing onions with rough, porous, and easily torn skins, as these are bulbs that have been stored for a long time and are no longer fresh.

Prepare the ingredients
Carrots should be peeled and washed clean, then sliced thinly and cut into fine strips either vertically or shredded as you prefer!
Onions should be peeled and washed with water, then use a knife to slice them thinly.
Chives should have the roots and wilted, drooping leaves cut off. Wash them clean and let them drain, separating the chive bulbs from the leaves, then chop each part finely.
