Time for more dessert again. This is a Vietnamese dessert. If you love mung bean then this is the dessert for you. For Vietnamese, almost every dessert eats with coconut milk.
1 pound đậu xanh cà (split hulled mung bean (soaked for overnight or at least 2 hrs)
1/2 pound đường (granulated sugar, I use yellow rock sugar)
6 cups nước (water)
7 tbsp bột năng (tapioca starch)
1/2 cup nước (water)
vài giọt màu vàng (few drops yellow coloring (just about)
Cách Làm (Method):
1. Ngâm đậu xanh vài tiếng hoặc qua đêm cho mềm, rửa sạch, đồ chín, để sang bên.
Drain soaked mung bean and steam over cheese clog until soft but not mushy. Maybe 5-10 minutes is enough. The mung bean should still hold it's shape.
2. Bắt nồi, bỏ 6 cups nước + đường vào, nấu sôi, hạ lửa trung bình. Cho vài giọt màu vàng quậy đều.
Boil 6 cups of water. Add in the rock sugar and stir. When rock sugar melt, add in the yellow food color and stir. It should be light yellow but not too light.
3. Bỏ đậu xanh vào, quậy đều, nhẹ tay kẻo đậu nát.
While the sugar water is boiling, pour in the steamed mung bean slowly. Use the chopsticks to stir gently.
4. Trong 1 chén nhở: hoà tan 7 tbsp bột năng + 1/2 cup nước, đổ hỗn hợp này vào nồi nước trên. Quậy đều tới khi bột trong là được.
Now mix 1/2 cup water with 7 tbsp tapioca starch.
5. Cho hỗn hợp năng + nước vào nồi, dùng tay kia quấy đều nhẹ kẻo vón cục.
Slowly add the mixture tapioca starch and water in the pot and the other hand should keep on stirring the mung bean soup. Reason for not pouring in all at once is because we do not want chunks of tapioca forming. We want the soup to be smooth. Stop pouring in the tapioca mixture once the soup is thicken. We do not want the soup to be too thick or too watery. If the soup is still watery after you pour the whole tapioca mixture in then mixture some more tapioca mixture to add to the soup.
6. Khi thấy chè sềnh sệt lại thì ngưng.
Remember to turn off the heat once the soup is thicken. We do not need to cook this any longer since the mung bean is already cooked. We want the mung beans to still have its shape.
Nước cốt dừa (Coconut Sauce):
1 lon nước cốt dừa (can of coconut cream)
1 tbsp đường (sugar)
1/2 tsp muối (salt)
2 tbsp bột năng (tapioca starch)
1/4 cup nước (water)
1 bó lá dúa (1 small bunch of pandan leaves)
Nấu sôi pandan leaves, nước cốt dừa và muối, đường. lower the heat, cho nước lạnh và bột năng đã hòa tan vào, Quấy đều, chờ nước cốt dừa sánh lại là ok. Yêu cầu nước cốt dừa phải sệt sệt, có độ ngọt và béo vừa phải.
In a separate pot, put the bunch of panda leave mix 1 can coconut cream, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt and bring to slow boil. Remember to stir. Mix 2 tbsp tapioca starch with 1/4 cup water to thicken the coconut sauce. If you still have the left over starch for the mung bean then use some of that. You do not need to use the whole mixture, just use enough to make the coconut sauce thicken and creamy.
Phần ăn thì dễ rồi, chỉ múc chè ra chén và cho nước dừa lên mặt.
To serve, pour some mung bean soup in a bowl and top with lots of coconut sauce.
