Ingredients
- 1 cup green mung beans
- 7 cups water
- 1 ½ cups glutinous rice rinsed
- 4 cups coconut milk
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, toast the mung beans until they turn brown and produce a nutty fragrance, about 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the toasted mung beans to a baking sheet and crack them open using a rolling pin or a cast-iron pan.
- In a large pot, add water, glutinous rice, mung beans, and half of the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once the mixture is boiling, continually stir so the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Rice will be cooked in about 25-30 minutes.
- Add the remaining coconut milk, brown sugar and stir well and check the sweetness. If you want more add more brown sugar.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
