How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose delicious, sweet lychee
- Good and ripe lychee will have a reddish-pink skin, and the fruits will be evenly round. Lychee fruit is usually smaller than longan, while hybrid lychee tends to be larger and elongated, with a darker red color.
- Ripe lychee will have smooth spines; the more and sharper the spines, the greener the lychee, which will taste sour.
- You should choose clusters of lychee that are still fresh, with a stem attached to the fruit and leaves that are still green.
- Avoid selecting lychee with dark spots on the skin, black spots, especially at the stem end, as these are likely to be rotten or overripe fruits.
- Do not buy clusters of lychee with dry, wilted stems that are prone to breaking or leaves that are dry and no longer fresh.
How to choose cheese for cooking
- To choose the right type of cheese for cooking, you should buy Cheddar cheese because it has a salty flavor that can balance the sweetness of the lychee fruit outside.
- You can find Cheddar cheese at supermarkets or stores selling baking ingredients at a price of about 400 – 500 thousand VND for a 2kg block. (price updated 20/05/2020).

Prepare the ingredients
Peel the lychee, use scissors to cut the stem of the lychee and remove the lychee seed from the flesh, then set it aside.
Cut the cheese into bite-sized cubes that will fit into the lychee. Place the cheese filling into the lychee that has been pitted earlier.

Breading
Put 2 eggs in a bowl, beat well until the yolks and whites are combined.
Roll the lychee in layers of cornstarch, egg, then again in cornstarch, egg, and finally roll in a layer of breadcrumbs. Repeat until all prepared lychees are used.
Tip: When breading, be very careful to coat the lychee evenly, especially the openings, to prevent the cheese from leaking out while frying.

Frying lychee
Heat oil in a pan until hot, then gently drop the lychee in to deep-fry. When the lychee turns golden brown, take it out.
