The health benefits of carrots: ( a root vegetable) 
Eaten regularly, helps to reduce premature aeging due to sun damage on skin.
Contains beta carotene- a substance that is converted to Vitamin A in the body. A 1/2 cup serving of cooked carrots contains four times the recommended daily intake of Vitamin A in the form of protective beta carotene.
Peel if desired. Raw carrots are naturally sweet, but lightly cooked carrots are even sweeter. Carrots are one of those vegetables that loses very little nutritional value during cooking. In fact, some nutrients in slightly cooked carrots are more available to the body than raw carrots. Cooking actually breaks down the tough cellular wall of carrots making some nutrients more useable to the body-  Vietnamese Food Fruits

  1. Awesome !
    looks so light and healthy too.
    In Indian cooking, we usually over-cook the veggies.

  13. It looks so yummy. When ever I see lots of green in my plate I really feel healthy. We try our best to cook the healthiest food and soup and salad is one of our favorite. On weekdays we hardly get time to cook for our-self and have to depend on outside food but on weekends we make sure that we makes lots of green stuff.

    We steal inspirations from you and nava :D

    @ lunaticg.. you may use any kind of noodle, I prefer the dry noodles sold in packets, the fresh ones are a bit soft and can turrn soggy.

  16. Is this similar to Kung Foo mee?

    One of my favourites, used to order this esp when I have no appetite due to flu or fever, warms UP your body very nicely.

    I never realize they only use egg whites?

    TQ for sharing,

    I want to try this recipe it sounds so good. Love chicken soup when not feeling good.
    You are so knowledgeable I had to look up chiffanade. I like it I'll add it to my vocabulary.
    I think I'd prefer to use bean curd instead of tofu. Which one does anyone else prefer?
    Awesome recipes and the pictures are so professional.
