3cups water
salt to your taste
Instructions
Examine the mung beans you measured out carefully. Get rid of all the impurities you can find and shrunken beans, rinse thoroughly under cold running water.
The proportion of mung beans to water is 1:3. Therefore, for 1 cup of mung beans, you will use 3 cups of water.
Put a pot with water on high heat. Add cleaned mung beans to the boiling water. Wait for it to boil again, and then lower the heat to medium or low. Water should be simmering. Let the beans cook for 30-40 minutes until tender. Stir them occasionally.
Do not add salt in the early stages of cooking; mung beans will become tough. You can add salt 10 minutes before the end of boiling. However, the perfect timing will be to add salt with seasoning to already cooked beans.
Before serving, you can drain them or blend them to make a stew.
