How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef ribs
- When choosing beef ribs, you should select those with a balance of bone and meat, as they will not fall apart when cooked.
- Fresh and delicious beef ribs will have a bright red color and a distinctive smell. Avoid meat that has a foul odor and is pale in color.
- Fresh and delicious beef ribs must have a bright red color and a distinctive smell; you should avoid pieces with a foul odor or preserved smell.
- Additionally, to check, you can press down on the rib with your hand; if the meat feels taut and has elasticity, it is fresh and delicious.
How to choose good white beans
- You should pay attention to selecting beans that are evenly round, shiny, and have a consistent bright color, avoiding those that are darkened.
- Avoid beans that are withered, soft, damp, or have wrinkles, looking like they are wilting, and also avoid selecting any flat beans.
- You should buy from reputable stores to ensure the beans are fresh, tasty, and not mixed with preservatives.
How to choose delicious and starchy potatoes
- Choose potatoes that feel heavy, firm, and intact; smooth-skinned potatoes are still good and will taste great.
- Avoid potatoes with blemishes, many dents, or signs of rot. Be careful to avoid selecting those that have turned green or sprouted, as sprouted potatoes are not good for health.
How to choose fresh carrots
You should choose carrots that are brightly colored, still firm, with smooth skin, deep orange color, green tops and leaves, and not bruised. Carrots with tops will retain their flavor and stay fresh longer.

Add 1 tablespoon of annatto oil to make the dish more visually appealing.
Mix the ribs well and marinate for about 1 hour for the ribs to absorb the spices.

Prepare other ingredients
Peel the potatoes, wash them clean and cut them into bite-sized pieces, then prepare a bowl of salted water, soak the potatoes in it to prevent them from turning black.
Peel the carrots, wash them clean, and cut them into thick pieces. Wash the white beans and peas, then drain them in a colander. Cut the coconut, extract the water, and mix it with 500ml of filtered water.
How to peel potatoes without turning black
- You can also soak the peeled potatoes in cold water mixed with a bit of vinegar. This method significantly limits the formation of black spots.
- For potatoes that have already turned black, you can briefly boil them with a little fresh milk. This method can remove the formed black spots and give the potatoes a fragrant smell of milk.

Cooking beef ribs with beans
Add the crushed tomatoes after the beef ribs have browned, stir-frying until the tomatoes are absorbed into the beef.

Once the beef is tender, add the carrots and potatoes, and simmer for another 15 minutes before adding the green peas and white beans to the pot.
