How to choose sweet coconuts for cooking delicious vegetarian lagu
Observe the coconut stem
- First, you need to pay close attention to the stem; if the coconut stem has bubbles, it certainly has been injected with chemical sugar to enhance the sweetness of the coconut water.
- Some people also inject chemical sugar into the coconut and then put it in the refrigerator to help the stem return to its original state. To be safer, you should choose coconuts that are still in a bunch and have not been peeled.
- Next, if the coconut remains white after being peeled for a while, it may have been soaked in bleaching agents.
Size
- You should choose coconuts that are small or medium-sized, weighing about 1-1.5 kg.
- If the coconut is too large, the water will be more diluted because it is hybrid coconut. Additionally, you can use your hand to lightly flick the coconut. If you hear a sound and your fingertip hurts, the flesh is likely thick and the water is very sweet. If you hear a dull sound, it means the coconut is still young, the flesh is thin, so the water will not be sweet.
Color of the coconut
- The experience of choosing delicious coconuts is to pay attention to the color of the coconut. Green coconuts should have a uniform green shell, not damaged. If they are yellow or brown, it means they have been stored for too long and should not be chosen.

Ingredients for Vegetarian Lagu (Lagu with Lychee recipe from the TikTok channel Bếp chay XANH) Serves 2
Lychee 300 gr Potato 200 gr Carrot 200 gr Oyster mushroom 200 gr Cashew nuts 50 gr Spring onion 1 tablespoon Vegetable butter 1 tablespoon Coconut water 1.5 liters Seasoning a little (sugar; seasoning powder; salt; pepper)
How to choose fresh lychee
- Choose lychees that are bright red, evenly round, and have smooth spines. Avoid those with sharp spines and green ones, as they will be sour and the broth will not taste good.
- You should prioritize selecting clusters of fresh lychee that still have stems attached and green leaves, as they will ensure better quality than those that have fallen off the branch.
- Lychees usually have a light fragrance, so if you smell any sour or fermented odor, those lychees are old or spoiled and should not be chosen.
