- When the sugar mixture turns to puce color, turn off the stove, immediately put the bacon and stir well.
- After 30-second stirring, leave the pot in 5 minutes, which helps the bacon become firm, marinated and puce (if you don’t have enough time for stage 1, this is the tip for you to make the meat well marinated).
Stage 3: Cook with small heat
- Put coconut juice to the pot over the bacon a little bit, turn on the stove again. Boil it and skim.
- When the water boils, turn down the heat to let the dish simmer.

- Wash and cut tomatoes in wedges.

Stage 2: Make natural food coloring with tomatoes
- Put some cooking oil to the pot with heat.
- Put and stir shallots in 20 seconds, then put and stir well tomatoes until they get soft.
- Note: while stirring tomatoes in 15 seconds, remember to add some water (covering enough the pot’s bottom surface) to make tomatoes get softer and not get burned.
Stage 3: Put the fish to the pot, when it becomes firm, add one bowl of water and boil it. You can adjust how much water you put. When the water boils, skim.
Stage 4: Add spice. You can add some spice according to your taste. However, avoid stirring the dish as this will damage the fish. After that, add some tamarind juice and continue to cook.

- After 20-30 seconds, add some water to avoid getting burned and make the cooking quickly. Add salt, MSG and then stir.
- If the water is running out, add some more.
- When the green bean is ready, place it to a plate. Sprinkle some pepper and put some scallion for decoration.
Note: while stirring, do not put the cover to avoid the beans getting steamed and losing the green color.
The dessert: Oranges
Prepare 3-5 oranges to cut in wedges.
Tips for choosing delicious oranges:
- Choose small ones: when selecting the king mandarins, you should look for the small ones. Don’t take the big ones. The small ones are sweater and smells better.
- Coin shape: a nice orange whose stalk and bottom should have a round sign. The round sign is concave as a coin.
- The stalk: you should get the ones with a stalk and leaves. If these parts look green and fresh, it means the fruit has just been picked which is fresh.
- The orange peel: a good king mandarin has a tanned and scabrous skin with a green yellow color.
