  1. Soak the mung beans in cold water for at least 4 hours. On summer days, place it in the fridge.
  2. Then add water and blend until very smooth. Use a very fine cloth to remove the pulps and get the start water only. In order to make more starch, wash the pulp with some extra water. Let the mixture stay for around 2 hours until the starch is settled (in the fridge on summer days).
  3. Then carefully pour the water above off because we need to measure for the next step.
  4. Next, measure 800ml water from the previous step, and add salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
