Let'S Call This Mung Bean Porridge -Bubur Kacang Hijau
- 2 cups mung beans
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 3-4 tablespoons brown sugar ( ideally gula melaka)
- a pinches of salt
- 1 knotted Pandan leaf (for the lucky ones living in places where this is available fresh) or extract for the rest of us (although optional)
- Toppings (almonds, hazelnuts, goji berries, sesame, anything else) (optional)
- Rinse the mung beans and put them in a bowl. Add water enough to cover and leave overnight in the fridge.
- After soaking them and noticing that the beans have become softer, rinse again and put them in a small pan covering with water.
- Add a pinch of salt, the sugar, the pandan leaf and bring to boil for about 20-30 minutes.
- Lower heat and add coconut milk. Turn off the heat but you can leave the pan on the hot stove to keep it warm.
- I like to serve it in a bowl and top it with goodies like almonds, goji berries, sesame seeds and the likes. Can be enjoyed either warm or cold.
