Nhiệm vụ (task)
Nấu ăn : Chè đậu xanh (green bean sweet soup):
We came out with a theme for our cooking project -high class Vietnamese green bean soup for a romantic candlelight dinner.
In an all-girls group, we happily played the “he loves me, he loves me not” rose “dismantling” game while decorating our dish and waiting for a stove to be available.As we were the last few groups to do the cooking and we didn’t want to waste food, we have decided to cook a smaller portion compared to the other groups. (and small is beautiful!)
Our recipe for the traditional favourite, chè đậu xanh:
225 g Skinned split mung beans, soaked in water for 3 hours and drained
500ml Coconut milk
50 g Caster (superfine) sugar
Toasted coconut shavings (optional), to serve
Method :
•Put the mung beans in a pan and pour in 500 ml water.
•Bring the water to the boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer until all the water has been absorbed.
•Press the beans through a sieve, or puree them in a blender.
•In a heavy pan, heat the coconut milk with the sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
•Gently stir in the pureed mung beans, making sure the soup is thoroughly mixed and heated through.
•Serve hot in warmed bowls sprinkled with toasted coconut shavings, if liked.
Cooking can be interesting!
We took turns to stir our mung beans while waiting for the water to be completely absorbed by the green beans. Sau đó, Miss Bibi helped us to blend the green beans using the mashed-potato-blender. (Thanks Bibi!)
Our pureed mung beans looked exactly like the mashed potato; we added our mung beans paste into the heated coconut milk with added sugar. We continued to stir the pureed mung beans in the coconut milk, to make sure the soup is thoroughly mixed.
Ta tang - - - -> a smooth silky green bean soup is finally produced.
We waited for the soup to cool down before we professionally scoop and fill the glass with the soup so as to not ruin our high class, fine dining, and romantic image.
And we had our very first taste of chè đậu xanh, Vietnamese green bean soup
-simply a “bobochacha-tau suan” hybrid for the locals-

We enjoyed ourselves on that day. Nấu ăn session is fun and really brought many of us closer together –a bonding session for sinh viên tiếng Việt!
