Chè Đậu Xanh

Chào cáo bạn,

Thứ bảy tuần này chúng em nấu ăn, che đậu xanh. Sáng thứ bảy chúng em rất mệt vì không có

sáng ăn, nhưng chúng em rất vuì vì nấu ăn ở nhà thầy minh.


Chè Đậu Xanh ingredients:

600g of skinless green beans

Some sugar and salt

A few pandan leaves

Coconut milk

Sago pearls

Steps:

Before the day of cooking, skinless green bean has been soaked overnight.

Step 1: Add in skinless green beans into 500ml of water in pan with pandan leaves added for aroma.

Step 2: Bring the water to boil, stir constantly till green beans are soften.

Step 3: Press the beans through a sieve.

Step 4: Add in coconut milk and sugar, stir until sugar has dissolved and making sure the soup is thoroughly mixed.

Step 5: Add in sago pearls and reduce the heat once the pearls turn translucent.

Step 6: Add in some salt to enhance the taste.

The hot green bean soup is ready to serve now.















Cooking experiences

We thought it was sweet enough, but Cô Bích said no. therefore we added in more more MORE & MORE sugar. Cô Bích cũng added in a lot of coconut milk, so that it will be more delicious. Finally, when we tasted for the last time, it is ngon!

Decoration experience

After the cooking, we started to put our heads together to translate our decorating idea into product. We started off with our tray. First, we covered the tray with a layer of banana leaves to create the atmosphere of nature. After that, we arranged our serving cups with flag stirrer in the tray. Every stirrer carried a Vietnamese flag with it, and every cup carried an orchid flower by the side of the cup. Then, some other orchids were placed around the cups. And the national flower of Vietnam – Lotus was displayed too, but it wasn’t in its best ‘health state’ as it looked like it had been taken out from water for 5 years. =( Nevertheless, our way of presenting our final product still looks great under the power of our creative hands

When we are waiting for the other groups, we suddenly realized that we forgotten to add salt to Chè Đậu Xanh!! Ahhh! Lucky the soup was still warm, so we added in some salt and hoped that it could dissolve completely in the soup.

Overall, it’s 100% edible and 100% ngon, but just not sweet enough and not enough coconut milk added (as what Cô Bích and Cô Lê commented)… Haha…

We would like to thank everyone who has helped us in one way or another that day. Thank you everyone for making this such a fun experience for all of us!
