Lek Tao Suan 绿豆爽 (Sweet Mung Beans Porridge)

The traditional teochew standard recipe requires to steam the mung beans, then prepare the syrup in another pot. As for my version, I used a rice cooker to cook... it was a lot easier and quicker to get it done.

Ingredients:
200gm skinned, split green beans (washed)
1.5 litres hot water
2 tbsps tapioca flour (dissolve in 1 cup of water)
sugar to taste
4 pandan leaves (knotted)
2 ringgit Yu Char Kuih (slice thinly)

Method:
1. Add mung beans and knotted pandan leaves into 1.5 litres water in rice cooker. Cover and let it boil until the beans are tender. Approx. 15-20 minutes.
2. Discard pandan leaves, add sugar to taste. Stir in slowly flour mixture, stir constantly until the soup thickens and has a translucent look. Serve with thinly slice Yu Char Kuih.
