  • Preparation: 30 min
  • Cooking: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (56 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients

  • 20 g Rice flour
  • 15 g Mung beans, dried
  • 20 g Sugar, powdered
  • 1 g Vanilla extract

Method

  1. Toast the rice flour in a dry pan over low heat, stirring, for a few minutes until fragrant but not browned; let cool.
  2. Steam the mung beans until soft, then mash smoothly while hot.
  3. Mix the toasted rice flour, mashed mung bean, powdered sugar and vanilla together into a fine, slightly moist mixture that holds together when pressed.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into small decorative molds, packing tightly into the corners.
  5. Carefully unmold onto a tray and let dry at room temperature for an hour or two; this makes one portion of a few pieces, so multiply for more.
