- Preparation: 30 min

Ingredients
- 30 g Mung beans, dried
- 20 g Sugar, powdered
- 3 g Coconut oil
Method
- Steam or boil the mung beans until very soft, then dry them out in a low oven or dry pan over low heat, stirring, until they can be ground into a fine, dry flour.
- Toast the mung bean flour lightly in a dry pan for a few minutes until fragrant.
- Mix the mung bean flour with the powdered sugar and coconut oil, kneading until it holds together when pressed.
- Press firmly into small molds (traditional ones are square) and pack tightly.
- Unmold carefully and let dry at room temperature for a few hours until firm; this makes one portion, so multiply for more.
