Instructions

  1. Rinse 60 g of dried mung beans in several changes of cold water until it runs clear, picking out any grit or shrivelled beans. Cover generously with fresh cold water and leave to soak for at least 4 hours, or overnight, then drain. Soaking is what lets the beans collapse into a porridge rather than staying firm.
  2. Put the drained beans in a small heavy saucepan with 500 ml of water, 1 pandan leaf tied into a knot and 10 g of peeled, sliced ginger. Bring to the boil over high heat, skimming off any foam that rises, then lower to the gentlest simmer.
  3. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so and scraping the base so nothing catches. The beans should be soft enough to crush against the side of the pan with a spoon.
