Ingredients
Hulled mung beans 100 g
Sugar 150 g
Vanilla 1 vial
Fresh lotus seeds 100 g
Arrowroot starch 3 tablespoon
Water 400 ml
Implementation Steps
01
Rinse the mung beans and soak them in warm water for 1–2 hours to soften so they cook more easily.
Rinse the fresh lotus seeds and use a sharp knife to remove the green germ.
02
Steam the mung beans until soft.
Put the lotus seeds in a pot with just enough water to cover and simmer until tender.
03
Once the lotus seeds are just cooked, add the steamed mung beans to the pot. Add the sugar and stir over medium heat until it dissolves.
For a lovely thick texture, mix 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch with ½ bowl water and stir it into the pot, stirring constantly so it doesn't form lumps. When the soup has thickened, turn off the heat.

Remember to add a little vanilla for an even more inviting aroma.
