Ingredients
MUNG BEAN PUDDING
- 1.5 cup split mung beans
- 50 fluid ounces water divided into 34 floz and 16 floz
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3.5 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 3 Pandan leaves
COCONUT MILK TOPPING
- 1.5 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons rice flour
Instructions
- Soak the mung beans in water for 3 hours.
- Dampen a cheesecloth, spread the soaked mung beans on it, and place it in a steaming pot over boiling water.
- Wrap the cheesecloth up and steam on medium heat for 20–30 minutes, until the beans are soft. Let them cool afterward. Continue with the next step while it’s steaming.
- For the pudding, heat a pot with 34 fl oz of water, sugar, and pandan leaves on medium. Cook until the sugar is dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, mix 16 fl oz of water with tapioca starch. Whisk it in gradually.
- Stir this mixture into the pot with boiling water. Keep stirring until it thickens and becomes clear.
- Gently stir in the cooled mung beans and then turn off the heat.
- In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, rice flour, and salt. Heat it up on low-medium, stirring until it slightly thickens, then take it off the heat.
- To serve, put the pudding in bowls and drizzle with the coconut milk sauce. Enjoy!
