I have been craving for something sweet to eat… So, I decided to make myself a dessert with mung beans which I bought during the last visit to China this lazy Saturday.
Mung beans are easy to cook as they do not need to be soaked in water before its use.
Yummyyyy…
Mung Beans Soup

2) Add sugar to 1) and keep boiling for a furher 15 minutes.
3) In a separate bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour with water. Be careful not to add too much water. You can have a better texture when the amount of water is moderately low.
