Boiled Pomelo Pulp
Place the cut pomelo pulp into a bowl, then add 1 cup of water (rice bowl) and 2 tablespoons of salt. Next, use your hands to squeeze the pomelo pulp vigorously to remove the bitterness, then rinse several times with cold water to remove the salt.
Then, bring a pot of water to a boil. When the water is boiling, add the pomelo pulp and blanch for about 3 – 5 minutes, then remove the pulp and place it in a bowl of cold water to soak for 3 minutes. After soaking, take the pomelo pulp out and squeeze out the excess water.
Transfer the pomelo pulp to a bowl, add 1/2 cup of water (rice bowl) and 3 tablespoons of sugar (about 45g), mix well by hand to let the pomelo pulp absorb the seasoning, then let it sit for 2 – 3 hours.

Stir-fried Pomelo Pulp
After 2 – 3 hours, heat a pan on the stove, add the pomelo pulp to the pan and stir-fry on low heat for 20 minutes. After stir-frying, add 100g of tapioca starch, stirring well so that the starch coats the pomelo pulp evenly.
Next, boil another pot of water, add the mixture of pomelo pulp and tapioca starch that you just stir-fried into the pot, and cook until the pulp becomes translucent, then remove it and place it in a bowl of ice water to make the pomelo pulp crispy.

Prepare the ingredients
After purchasing the grapefruit, separate the peel. Then, use a knife to peel off the green part of the grapefruit peel and cut the white flesh.
Next, cut the white flesh of the grapefruit into small cube shapes and wash it thoroughly with water. Place the grapefruit flesh in a bowl of diluted saltwater, soak for about 5 minutes, and then squeeze out the water several times.
Finally, place 100g of peeled mung beans in a bowl of water and soak for about 1 hour.
-
Boil and mix grapefruit pulp
Put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. When the water boils, squeeze 1/2 a lemon into it, stir well, then add the grapefruit pulp into the pot and boil until the pulp becomes translucent.
After boiling, take the grapefruit pulp out and rinse it with cold water about 8 times, washing and squeezing it clean.
Next, place the grapefruit pulp in a pot of water and add 50gr tapioca flour together, using your hands to mix until the tapioca flour is absorbed by the pulp. Finally, add 50gr of palm sugar syrup to the grapefruit pulp and mix well to let the pulp absorb the sugar.
-
Steam mung beans
Put 100gr of soaked mung beans into a steaming pot and steam the beans for about 15 minutes over medium heat. Steam until the beans remain whole, cooked soft but not mushy.
-
Mix grapefruit peel with tapioca flour
After the grapefruit peel absorbs the sugar, add 75g of tapioca flour to the grapefruit peel and mix well. Once the first layer of tapioca flour coats the grapefruit peel evenly, add another 75g of tapioca flour to the grapefruit peel and mix until the tapioca flour sticks tightly to the grapefruit peel.

Cook the pudding
Place a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the tapioca-coated grapefruit peel and cook until the tapioca flour is cooked through, then remove it to a bowl of ice water and soak for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove the grapefruit peel and let it drain.
Next, add 1 liter of water and 300g of palm sugar to the pot and bring to a boil. Once the palm sugar water is boiling, add the grapefruit peel and stir well.
Then, add the steamed mung beans to the pot and cook until the water starts to bubble. When the water is bubbling as desired, add the mixture of 40g of tapioca flour mixed with 1/2 cup of water (rice bowl) to the pot and continue to cook until the pudding thickens, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
To make the coconut milk to eat with the pudding, add 500ml of coconut milk and 80g of granulated sugar to the pot and simmer on low heat. Next, add the mixture of 50g of tapioca flour and 1/2 cup of water to the pot, stir well, and cook until the coconut milk thickens.

Where to buy coconut milk?
- You can buy coconut milk at markets, supermarkets, or reputable grocery stores. In addition, you can buy directly at the nearest TasteVN supermarket or purchase online at bachhoaxanh.com.
- Additionally, to ensure quality, you can make coconut milk at home following TasteVN’s guide.
How to choose delicious, quality grapefruit
- Delicious grapefruit has a shiny, firm skin, and when held, feels heavy. The skin should still be fresh, not dry.
- Additionally, you should prioritize choosing fruits that, when you flick the skin with your fingers, make a “pop pop” sound, indicating thick skin and plenty of pulp for making desserts.
- Avoid selecting grapefruit with small, thick bumps, as this indicates the fruit is still immature and has less pulp.
How to choose delicious, quality peeled mung beans
- You should choose beans that are bright yellow, uniform in size and color, and of moderate size.
- Delicious, quality peeled mung beans are shiny, plump, and intact without any chips. When buying packaged beans, carefully check the production information and expiration date on the packaging.
- Avoid buying beans that have black spots, are dull in color, vary in size, or have a musty or strange smell, as these are low-quality beans that affect the flavor of the dish.
