Instructions
Soak Beans:
- Place dried mung beans into a bowl and wash them well with your hands with water 3 times until the water appears clear.
- Cover the beans with plenty of water and leave to soak for about 3 hours. Keep in mind that the beans will soak up water and increase a bit in size.
Boil Beans and Cook Dish:
- Strain beans after soaking and discard the soaking water.
- Place the beans into a pan and cover with the fresh water and add the salt. Bring to boil over a medium high heat setting.
- Skim off excess foam.
- Cook the beans until they start to open up. This can take about 25 minutes or more. Stir occasionally.
- Reduce the heat setting a bit and stir in sugar and all the coconut milk.
- Stir everything well and control the heat, keeping it on a medium setting.
- Simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the beans break open.
- Serve up hot or cooled.
