How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good sake
- You should choose large sake fruits with a greenish-yellow skin, large eyes that feel firm when pressed.
- Avoid choosing small sake fruits with green skin as these are unripe, very bland, have a lot of sap, and are difficult to process.
How to choose good green beans
- You should choose beans that have smooth, plump skin, a green color, and a natural aroma.
- Do not buy beans that are shriveled or deformed, as these are often eaten by pests or are still immature.
- Avoid choosing beans that have different colors, musty smells, or chemical odors. Stay away from beans showing signs of pest infestation.
How to choose sweet longan
- You should select longan that are still in clusters, with fresh stems and leaves, and that emit a natural aroma. Choose those that are plump and have a dark yellow skin.
- Avoid choosing longan that are too shiny, have fallen from the branch, or have an unpleasant smell at the stem end. Stay away from those that are soft, rotten, or dried out, and show signs of insect damage.
How to choose ripe jackfruit
- You should select ripe jackfruits that have a characteristic aroma; naturally ripe jackfruits usually have a soft, round body, large open eyes, and less sharp and spaced thorns.
- For naturally ripe jackfruit, when cut open, there will be little to no white latex; a good jackfruit will taste sweet and rich, not fibrous or bland.
- Avoid choosing jackfruits that are uneven as the deep indentations may be prone to pests, or have a lot of fibers and hardness. Stay away from those that are still immature, have green skin, sharp and hard thorns, and closely spaced thorns.

Prepare other ingredients
Next, with a dry coconut you bought, you will see 2 small holes that are dented on the coconut, use a chopstick or screwdriver to punch the holes, then turn the coconut upside down into a cup to let the coconut water drain completely.
Next, to make coconut milk, you use a knife to cut the coconut in half, then use a grater to grate the coconut meat. After grating the coconut, take a thin piece of cloth, put the grated coconut in it, pour in a little water, then use your hands to squeeze tightly to extract the coconut milk.
Continue repeating the process of pouring water and squeezing the coconut milk until you get a sufficient amount of coconut milk, about 500ml.
Next, you will cut a jackfruit in half and remove the seeds from each jackfruit segment, then use a knife to cut into small pieces or shred, depending on your preference. Similarly, for longan, you also peel the skin and remove the seeds.
You wash 200g of green beans and put them in a bowl, then cover them with cold water and let the beans soak overnight to soften. After that, rinse several times until the water is clear and not cloudy, then drain.
Cook the dessert
First, you will add 200g of mung beans to a pot of water and bring it to a boil, add a little salt and cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add 1 prepared sake fruit and 500g of rock sugar, and continue to cook for another 10 minutes.
Next, add ingredients such as 500g of longan, 1 jackfruit, 4 stalks of aloe vera, and 500ml of prepared coconut milk, then cover the pot and cook until the dessert boils again, then turn off the heat.
Final product
Aloe vera fruit dessert with mung beans is very attractive and nutritious; adding a little ice to eat with it is unbeatable. The dessert has a fragrant, rich coconut aroma, with the natural sweetness of longan and jackfruit, soft and crispy aloe vera, and the mung beans and sake are tender, making it very tasty.
