Ingredients
Hulled mung beans 200 g
Tapioca starch 300 g
Rice flour 100 g
Coconut milk 200 ml
Pandan juice 350 ml
Implementation Steps
01
- Wash the mung beans and soak them overnight, or for 3 hours, to soften.
- Mix the tapioca starch with the rice flour and divide into 2 equal portions.
02
- Put the mung beans in a pot with about as much water as beans and cook until done.
- Once the beans are cooked, put them in a blender with 1.5 bowls of water and 3 tablespoons of sugar and blend.
03
- Add one portion of the flour mixture and the coconut milk to the mung bean mixture and stir well.
- Add the pandan juice and 3 tablespoons of sugar to the other portion of flour and stir well.
04
- Put the steamer on the stove, brush the mold all over with oil to stop the cake sticking, and bring the water to the boil.
05
- When the water boils, pour in a layer of the mung bean batter, cover and steam until set, then add a layer of the pandan batter. Once that has set, add another layer of mung bean, and so on.
- When all the batter is used up, cover and steam for another 10 minutes so the cake cooks through.
Good luck!
