This is my husband's favorite.

Adjust the amount of sugar to your desired level of sweetness. A liberal amount of palm sugar will give it a rich sweetness, and a liberal amount of caster sugar will give it a light taste. It's tasty served either hot or chilled and served over shaved ice. With durian added, this is called 'bubur kacang durian'. Recipe by ichimai

Steps

1

This is a pandan tree (called screw pine in English). If you can get dried leaves, use them; otherwise, you can make your own.
2

If you can get fresh pandan leaves, wash them well, then tie them in a knot. If they are dehydrated, use them as is.
3

Rinse the mung beans and place them in a pot with water. Bring to a boil, then drain (to remove the scum).
4

Return the beans to the pot and add the pandan leaves. Fill the pot with plenty of water and boil until the beans are tender. I use a pressure cooker for this step.
5

Once the beans are tender, remove the pandan leaves. Then add the palm sugar, white sugar, and salt to taste.
6

Add the coconut milk and mix well. When it comes to a boil, it's done.
7

Mung beans have a cooling effect on the body. Using cold soup to cool off is a good way to save energy!

For reference, this is the proportion of ingredients that I use to make this: 300 g mung beans, 250 g caster sugar, 50 g brown sugar, and 200 ml coconut milk. It's a bit on the sweet side.
