Step 1

Cut the chicken into chunks. Add the egg white and wet cornstarch, mix well, then blanch briefly in a pot of boiling water. Slice the ham.

Step 2

Remove the outer husk of the coconut, saw off the top about 3 cm from the apex, pour out the coconut juice, and scoop out the coconut flesh, leaving the shell intact. Place the ham, chicken, reserved coconut juice, and chicken broth into the coconut shell, then cover it back up to restore its original shape.
