Mung bean desserts are an essential part of Khmer cuisine, and they are usually served after a meal, as a sweet and nutritious dessert. You can easily make mung bean desserts at home with Khmer glutinous rice, which is the staple food of Cambodia.

Glutinous rice and mung bean dish is a popular Khmer treat. It just takes a few steps to complete. I don’t have the precise measurement, but it’s near enough. If you don’t have a large number of people to serve, reduce the recipe in half.

To make the filling

1. 1 packet of yellow Mung bean (260 g) (buy the yellow bean ready to use no skin) Soak the beans in warm water for 2 hours.
2. After 2 hours, wash the mung bean a few times, drain, and steam until soft in a steamer.
3. Allow it to cool before adding 12 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar and mashing it into a paste.
4. Take a spoonful of mung bean paste and mix it with a fork. Make a ball out of it and put it away. Rep with the rest of the paste.

To make the dough

1. 2 1/2 cups water and 16 ounces (260 grams) glutinous rice powder mix If the dough is too thin, add a little water at a time. Mix the dough well, then knead it until it is smooth. Take approximately 1 T of bean paste and shape it into a ball in the palm of your hand, then take one roll of bean paste and cover it with the white.
2. Roll out the dough into a spherical ball and put it aside. Repeat with the remaining dough and mung bean filling until all of the dough and mung bean filling is gone. You may flatten the dough a little before boiling it to make it easier to consume.
3. To cook the dough, bring a large pot of water to a boil, then drop a few white dough balls with the filling inside. Cook until the dough floats to the top, then simmer for another 5 minutes to ensure the glutinous rice is fully cooked. Remove the dough and place it in a cold bath for a few minutes before adding it to the coconut sauce.

For the glutinous rice dough, make a coconut sauce.

1 coconut cream can
1 liter of water
1 cup sugar (white)
brown sugar, 1/2 cup
a quarter teaspoon of salt
Serve with toasted sesame seeds as a garnish.

1. On low heat, combine one can of coconut cream and one can of water (use the coconut can to measure the water), 1 cup white sugar, 12 cup brown sugar, 14 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon thinly sliced fresh ginger. This is a method of gradually heating the sauce till the ginger flavor emerges. Allow the sauce to cool.
2. When the dough has cooled, place it in the coconut sauce pan and top with sesame seeds when ready to serve. My mother usually flavors the dessert by pounding sesame seeds with a pinch of salt in a mortar pestle and drizzling 1 t spoon warm coconut cream on top.
3. Another option for serving this dish is to take a few pieces of fried dough and pour a dollop of sauce on top of them rather than dipping them in the sauce; either method will work.
4. To keep the coconut from tasting nasty, serve this dessert slightly warm.
5. It’s up to you whether you want it to be more sweet or less sweet.

Thank you, and have fun with it.
