How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh broccoli
- You should choose broccoli that has bright colors, uniform color; the darker the color, the sweeter and more tender it is. Additionally, fresh broccoli will have a firm surface and will not droop.
- Choose broccoli that has a round shape, with the center bulging, with space between the small flower clusters, and feels quite solid and heavy when held.
- Avoid choosing broccoli that is wilted, bruised, has mottled colors, or is slightly yellowing, especially if it feels light and the stem is soft and mushy, as this indicates spoiled broccoli.
How to choose fresh and delicious peas
- You should choose peas with bright green skin, soft stems, and small seeds because these are young peas, which will taste better and sweeter.
- Avoid selecting peas that are large, have a slightly dark green color, and large seeds because these are mature peas, which are not tasty. Additionally, do not choose peas that are scratched or bruised.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- You should choose carrots that are bright orange, with shiny and smooth skin, firm to the touch and feel quite solid.
- Fresh and delicious carrots will have an average size, not too large or too small, and usually, carrots with small cores will be sweeter than those with large cores.
- Avoid selecting carrots that are scratched, have many tiny black spots, have withered tops, and are separated from the body of the vegetable.
- Additionally, do not choose large carrots that feel quite light when picked up because these are wilted carrots that have been stored for too long, which will not taste good.
How to choose fresh and delicious young corn (baby corn)
- You should choose young corn with evenly sized kernels, small cobs, about the size of a finger, because they will taste sweeter than larger ones.
- Additionally, you should choose young corn that is white or bright yellow, straight, and feels solid and moderately firm when held.
- Avoid selecting cobs that are dry or bruised, have many small spots, or show signs of insect bites.

Prepare the ingredients
The vegetables you bought should be soaked in diluted salt water for about 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water and let them drain.
Use a knife to cut off the stalk of the broccoli and separate the florets. Carrots can be sliced thinly or shaped like flowers for an attractive presentation. Snap peas should have both ends trimmed and the fibrous parts removed from the sides.
Chop the green onions finely. Cut the baby corn diagonally into pieces about the length of a finger. Peel the onion and slice it into thin pieces suitable for eating.
