Step 1: Preparing ingredients

- Wash and chop the cilantro.
- Wash the shallots and lemongrass
- Roast peanuts briefly, then beat them slightly.
Step 2: Cook the frog
- Heat the pan on the stove, add about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil until hot, then add chopped lemongrass, shallot and shake hands until golden, then cook the frog meat over high heat for about 3 minutes.
- Next, add the coconut milk and boil until the water simmers, then add the onions, glass noodles, and mushrooms to the mixture, season to taste, stir for about 3 minutes and turn off the heat.

Fried fish balls – Easy Tasty Dishes
Ingredients:
| No. | Ingredients | Quantity |
| 1 | Fish fillet | 300 gram |
| 2 | Tapioca Starch | 3 tablespoons |
| 3 | Cooking Oil | 3 tablespoons |
| 4 | Egg | 1 egg |
| 5 | Flour | 50 gam |
| 6 | Breadcrumb (Panko) | 1 package |
| 7 | Chili paste/ chili sauce/ tabasco | Based on your preference |
| 8 | Other seasonings (Salt, Pepper, Sugar…) | Based on your preference |
Cooking steps
Step 1: Preparing ingredients
- Grind the fish flesh, season it a bit with salt and pepper. Add some other seasonings, tapioca starch, and coat the meat thoroughly so the flavor can slowly be absorbed. The more careful you are, the more chewy and tasty the dish is.
- Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes, then knead them into little balls.
Tips: put some cooking oil on your hands before kneading so it doesn’t stick
- Crack the egg and separate the yolks with the white.
Step 2: Fry the fish balls
- Heat the pan on the stove, fill half of the pan with cooking oil, and wait for the oil to heat up. Note that you should use a deep-fried pan. This will help the ball fully submerge in the oil, helping the ball to cook more evenly.
- Roll the fish balls through the flour, the egg yolks, and finally the breadcrumbs. Pay attention to roll carefully so that the dough cling evenly to the ball.
- Wait for the hot oil to be appropriately heated, then add the fish balls in and fry them until they are evenly golden brown. Finally, take them out and place them on some oil-absorbing cooking paper.
The second dish is simple to make and also healthy to enjoy as well! We highly recommend using an air-fryer if you don’t want oil on your fishballs. You can also eat this dish with fresh vegetables to reduce the greasiness.

Dessert: Fresh Watermelons – Easy Tasty Dishes
Watermelon has long been a popular fruit among families, but not everyone knows the secret of choosing juicy and fresh watermelon.
Today bTaskee will reveal our exclusive tips to help you pick the best watermelons for your family’s refreshing dessert.
- First, the stem should be small, withered, and as curly as possible. This proves that these melons are old and ripe, not wilted young ones.
- Second, you should choose melons with a round bottom. According to farmers, these will taste better.
- Third, male watermelons tend to have more seeds than female ones. If you don’t like melons with lots of seeds, check their bottom to choose the correct one! The male melon will usually have a small circle at the bottom, while the female melon will have a significantly larger circle.
- Fourth, for melons that are in contact with the more yellow soil will be more delicious and they will be riper.
With fresh watermelons, you can slice them up and serve them fresh to the family or make them into various desserts such as watermelon gelato, watermelon yogurt parfait, soda floats, fruit salad bowl, and so on.
