How to choose good chicken eggs
- To choose fresh chicken eggs, you should first observe the eggshell. Industrial chicken eggs will have a dark brown color, not pale and not too many black spots.
- However, backyard chicken eggs often have a paler color, sometimes white, but are still delicious and nutritious!
- In addition, you can use your hand to feel the surface of the eggshell; if the surface is rough and slightly gritty, it is a fresh egg, while a smooth surface indicates that the egg has been stored for quite a while.
What is cocoa powder?
- Essentially, cocoa powder is made from cacao but has been processed at high temperatures. Cocoa powder is usually cheaper than cacao.
- Although produced at high temperatures, cocoa powder still retains a certain amount of antioxidants that are beneficial for health. You can use cocoa powder and cacao interchangeably in baking recipes or beverages.
Where to buy cocoa powder and green bean powder?
- You can find cocoa powder and green bean powder at baking ingredient stores, supermarkets, or on e-commerce platforms such as bachhoaxanh.com.
- No matter where you buy, you should choose a reputable place to ensure the health of yourself and your family!

Prepare the eggshells
After purchasing the eggs, wash them thoroughly, then separate and keep only 3 egg whites, while using both the yolk and white from the remaining egg in another bowl and keeping the shells.
Next, put the eggshells into a mortar, pound them until they turn into fine powder, and add 125ml of water, then stir well.

Whip the egg whites

Mix the batter
First, you strain all the water from the egg shells (only take the water) and put it into a separate large bowl.
Then, add 50g of mung bean flour, 100g of rice flour, 1 egg, 150g of sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon of cocoa powder into the bowl with the egg shell water, and mix well with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Baking the Pancakes
In this step, you place a pan on the stove and heat it over medium heat for about 30 seconds. Then, you scoop a ladle of batter into the pan and spread it evenly into a round shape.
