Instructions for Pomelo Sweet Soup
-
Prepare ingredients
Wash the mung beans, remove any shriveled or damaged beans, and then soak them in cold water for about 4 hours.
Next, pour water over the mung beans and put them in the microwave. Select a power level of 800W and cook for about 10 minutes.
For the pomelo pith, use a knife to remove the green peel and then cut the pith into bite-sized pieces.
-
Boil the pomelo pith
Put the cut pomelo pith into a bowl, add 1 bowl of water (rice bowl) and 2 tablespoons of salt. Then, use your hands to squeeze the pomelo pith firmly to remove the bitterness and rinse it several times with cold water to remove the salt.
Next, bring a pot of water to a boil. When the water boils, add the pomelo pith and blanch for about 3-5 minutes. Then, remove the pomelo pith and soak it in a bowl of cold water for 3 minutes. After soaking, take out the pomelo pith and squeeze out the water.
Put the pomelo pith in a bowl, add 1/2 bowl of water (rice bowl) and 3 tablespoons of sugar (about 45gr), mix well by hand so that the pomelo pith absorbs the spices, and then let it sit for 2-3 hours.
-
Sauté the pomelo pith
After 2-3 hours, place a pan on the stove, add the pomelo pith to the pan and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. After simmering, add 100gr of tapioca starch, stirring constantly until the tapioca starch coats the pomelo pith evenly.
Next, bring another pot of water to a boil, add the mixture of pomelo pith and tapioca starch to the pot, and cook until the pith becomes translucent. Then, remove it and place it in a bowl of ice water to make the pomelo pith crispy.

Cook the pomelo sweet soup
Boil about 2 liters of water. After the water boils, add pandan leaves and boil for about 2-3 minutes to extract the aroma. After 2-3 minutes, remove the pandan leaves and add 1/2 rice bowl of sugar (about 100gr) to the pot.
Next, mix 20gr of tapioca starch with a little filtered water. Then, add the mixed tapioca starch to the pot, stirring constantly while adding.
Finally, add the cooked mung beans and sautéed pomelo pith to the pot and continue stirring. Bring to a boil for another 1-2 minutes, adjust the sweetness to your liking, and then turn off the heat.

Where to buy coconut milk?
- You can buy coconut milk at markets, supermarkets, and reputable food stores. You can also buy it directly at the nearest Bach Hoa XANH supermarkets or buy online at bachhoaxanh.com.
- Besides that, to ensure quality, you can make your own coconut milk at home following Dien May XANH’s instructions.
How to choose good quality pomelos
- Good pomelos have shiny, taut skin, feel heavy when held, and the skin is still fresh and not dry.
- Also, you should prioritize choosing fruits that make a “pop” sound when you flick the skin, indicating a thick peel with plenty of pith for making the sweet soup.
- Avoid choosing pomelos with small, dense thorns, as this means the pomelo is still young and doesn’t have much pith.
How to choose good quality hulled mung beans
- You should choose mung beans that are bright yellow, uniform in size and color, and medium-sized.
- Good quality hulled mung beans are shiny, plump, and whole, without any cracks. When buying pre-packaged beans, carefully check the production information and expiration date on the packaging.
- Avoid buying beans with black spots, dull color, uneven size, a musty smell, or any strange odor, as these are low-quality beans that will affect the taste of the dish.
Hopefully, with the 2 delicious and extremely simple pomelo sweet soup recipes that Dien May XANH has just shared, you will easily succeed in making this delicious and nutritious sweet soup for your family to enjoy on the weekend!
