Charlie will eat just about any vegetable given! He loves fresh veg - it gets eaten straight away. I tend to give a different one each day - just a tiny piece, say thumbnail size, or about 1cm cubed, whichever is easier to imagine! I give broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, baby corn, green beans - things that are easier to keep in that we eat anyway.
Mostly raw, but sometimes cooked (plain boiled, no salt), as I keep a bit back for him if we've had some ourselves that night. He's a Syrian not a dwarf, but I think most hamsters like veg. Probably not baby corn in your case. And the occasional pea goes down well but he doesn't get those often as I only like giving him fresh ones from the pod! Sometimes he'll get a piece of sugar snap pea or mange tout but I pull the stringy edge bits of first (same with green beans).
