- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (56 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free

Ingredients
- 20 g Rice flour
- 15 g Mung beans, dried
- 20 g Sugar, powdered
- 1 g Vanilla extract
Method
- Toast the rice flour in a dry pan over low heat, stirring, for a few minutes until fragrant but not browned; let cool.
- Steam the mung beans until soft, then mash smoothly while hot.
- Mix the toasted rice flour, mashed mung bean, powdered sugar and vanilla together into a fine, slightly moist mixture that holds together when pressed.
- Press the mixture firmly into small decorative molds, packing tightly into the corners.
- 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.
