Mung beans porridge or "Bubur Kacang Hijau" which is referred to in Malaysia is a dessert made of mung beans, coconut milk and palm sugar at it very basic form. It is quite a common dessert in South East Asian countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesian, Cambodia, China and India. Every one of them has their own version of making this porridge.
Here, I have used sweet potatoes, glutinous rice and brown sugar and coconut milk to make this heart warm dessert.
Ingredients:
2 cups rinsed whole mung beans, soaked overnight
3 cups of water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cups of sweet potatoes, cubed
Then add the coconut milk and continue to cook on low heat, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve hot with another splash of coconut milk.
3 Tbsp glutinous rice
1 cup coconut milk
palm sugar or brown sugar
Bring mung beans, water, salt to boil in a large sauce pan.
Reduce the heat to a simmer cook until the mung beans are soft about 20 minutes. Then add the rice cook for 10 minutes. Once the rice is cooked add the sweet potatoes and cook until the potatoes are done.
1 cup coconut milk
palm sugar or brown sugar
Bring mung beans, water, salt to boil in a large sauce pan.
Reduce the heat to a simmer cook until the mung beans are soft about 20 minutes. Then add the rice cook for 10 minutes. Once the rice is cooked add the sweet potatoes and cook until the potatoes are done.
Add the sugar, per taste.
Then add the coconut milk and continue to cook on low heat, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve hot with another splash of coconut milk.
