Mung Bean Dessert Recipe

Mung Bean Dessert

Ingredients

• 1 cup green mung beans
• 1/3 cup small sago (tapioca pearls)
• 8 cups of water
• 1 cup lotus seeds
• rock sugar (to taste)
• 1 can coconut milk 

Instructions

1. Boil a pot of water. Add sago and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the fire, cover the pot with a lid, and let the sago sit for another 10 minutes, or until all the sago is translucent. Run the cooked sago through a fine sieve to move the excess starch. Set aside. 
2. In a large pot, add green beans and water. Bring to a boil. 
3. Add lotus seeds. Reduce heat to simmer, partially covered, for about 50 minutes. Stir the sides and bottoms occasionally. Top off with water if necessary. 
4. Stir in rock sugar until fully dissolved.
5. Add cooked sago to green bean soup. 
6. Stir in coconut milk. 
7. Serve warm or chill. Enjoy!
