  We discuss the stability of strangelets -- quark droplets with strangeness --
in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model supplemented by a boundary condition for quark
confinement. Effects of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking are considered
properly inside quark droplets of arbitrary baryon number. We obtain the energy
per baryon number of quark droplets with baryon number from one to thousands.
It is shown that strangelets are not the ground states as compared with nuclei,
though they can be locally stable.
