How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Rinse the mung beans thoroughly

    Rinse the mung beans thoroughly and soak them in water for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to soften.

    1 hr

  2. Bring 1.5 liters of water

    In a large pot, bring 1.5 liters (1.5 l) of water to a boil. Add the soaked mung beans, ginger, and pandan leaves. Simmer until the beans are tender and have burst open, which usually takes 30-45 minutes.

    45 min

  3. Add the chopped palm sugar and salt

    Add the chopped palm sugar and salt. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

    5 min

  4. Pour in the coconut milk

    Pour in the coconut milk. Stir gently and bring back to a very light simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil vigorously to avoid the coconut milk from curdling.

    3 min

  5. Remove from heat

    Remove from heat and serve either warm or chilled.

A little kitchen wisdom

Soaking the mung beans overnight or for at least 1 hour significantly reduces the cooking time and ensures a more even texture. For a richer flavor, you can use fresh coconut milk or add a bit more palm sugar to your preference.
