Today I will tell you an interesting story of mine. Yesterday when I was watching the world cup I heard the doorbell. Immediately, I got up and opened the door. When the door opened, I did not see anyone, only two boxes in front of the door sent to me. I looked around to see if I would see anyone. However, there is still no one. I brought the box. I went to get a knife and opened it. And surprisingly, the inside is a bunch of rambutans (it is called chôm chôm in Vietnamese). Red, sweet and fresh fruits look delicious!
I am very happy because this is my favorite fruit. Chôm chôm is popular in the summer in Vietnam and there are many different types, more than 5 types. This is Thai rambutan, costing about $ 2 for 1kg of high quality. Rambutan is a tropical fruit with a red or yellow hairy shell and sweet white flesh around a white seed, so I like it. I rushed to eat immediately without the care who the person was sent. However, eating too much makes me feel bored, I have to think what do I do to solve this rambutan!
For a minute of thinking, I have found a dish that I have not eat before, have not cooked yet. These are rambutan soup with jujube, lotus seeds, pork grind, scallion, carrots, coriander and pandan leaves. Thought to do, I quickly go to the kitchen and cook immediately.

Preparation time: 8 hours
Cooking time: 1 hour
Level: Medium

INGREDIENT:

• 9 jujubes
• 50gr lotus seeds soaked overnight
• 1gr pandan leaves
• 10 rambutans
• 200gr of ground pork
• 2g cilantro (coriander)
• 2gr scallion
• 1/2 carrot
• Salt, pepper
• 1.5 liters of water

METHOD
First, I put the jujube in the pot, pour about 1.5 liters of water. I only use about 9 jujubes because if I use too many jujubes will make soup is too sweet. Put the jujube on the stove until the hulls of the jujube stretching. I add a little salt to taste more delicious!

Next, I will pare rambutan. I use the knife around the fruit to pare easier. Continue to use the knife to remove the seeds. I use about 10 rambutans for my soup.

Then, I took some coriander, about 1-2g chopped coriander. Similar to scallion, I also cut small. Carrots are also diced and chopped

Next, I add pepper and salt into pork grind. Then I put scallion, coriander, carrots mixed with pork to form a mixture.

After boiling water for about 30 minutes, I started to aad lotus seeds soaked overnight, pandan into the pot.

Pandan leaves will make the pot more aromatic and create a nice taste. lotus seeds combined with jujube make dish is very nutritious. Lotus seeds are rich in protein, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus, while saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol levels are very low so it is good for health, especially for the skin becomes white smooth pink.
Meanwhile, jujube contains many vitamins B group, pre-vitamin A, E, fiber, minerals, glucid, lipid, organic acids in high content. Jujube with high vitamins A and E have the ability to absorb free radicals and protect the cell very well. Fiber is distributed in harmony between soluble fiber (40-50%) and insoluble (50-60%). Soluble fiber provides softness to the fruit and is well tolerated by the body, which helps to retain water and support the good metabolism.

Molding the meat mixture into rounded balls and stuff them into a rambutan and make as a small ball. Drop the ball of rambutan into a pot of soup, stew until the meat floats on the water, jujube bulges out and turn off the stove.

Take the soup to the bowl, eat directly or can be eaten with rice is also very delicious. Sweet from rambutan, lotus seeds, jujube, all make a good health delicious soup.

So I have solved all rambutan perfectly. I also investigated the person who hides his face was my husband. He wanted to make a big surprise for me and I was touched by that. However, this rambutan soup also makes him very surprised because before that he just thought that rambutan can only eat directly!
I had a great day!
