Ingredients:

This is what you will require to make this easy vegan Vietnamese sweet soup dessert:

For The Mung Bean Base:

• 1 cup mung beans preferably split yellow mung beans
• 4 cups water for cooking
• 1 cup coconut milk, full-fat to make it creamy
• ½ cup sugar used to taste
• ¼ teaspoon salt

For Topping (Optional):

• Shredded coconut unsweetened
• Chopped fruits, like jackfruit or banana
• Pandan leaves for aroma, optional
• Chia seeds or tapioca pearls to add more texture, optional

Equipment Needed:

• A pot for boiling
• A mixing bowl
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Blender or food processor (optional for a smooth paste)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Recipe:

Step 1: Mung Bean Preparation

• Rinse Mung Beans: Clean the mung beans under running cold water to remove dust and other particulate matter.
• Soaking of Mung Beans: Soak the beans in water for at least 2 hours or overnight to get good cooking results. Soaked gets very soft and cooks faster.

Step 2: Cooking of Mung Beans

Boil the Beans: Put the soaked mung beans with 4 cups of water in a pot and boil on medium-high heat.

• Simmer: This should be simmered at low heat for at least 20-30 minutes or over until the beans split open and are soft.
• Add sugar and salt: Toss all your sugar and salt in there and stir until it dissolves. Taste and add more sugar to your desirable sweetness.

Step 3: Add Coconut Milk

Recipe:

• Add coconut milk: Gradually add coconut milk, stirring well. Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes. This also makes Chè feel creamy.
• Blending: When you prefer a silkier texture, puree the mixture just a bit using a blender or immersion blender; be careful not to over-blend. You want to still maintain some texture.

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

• Serve Warm or Cold: You can serve Chè warm or chill it in the refrigerator for a refreshing dessert. If you chill it, make sure that you let it cool completely before refrigerating.
• Garnish: Shredded coconut, chopped fruits, or pandan leaves for finishing touches and a bright splash of color. You can even add some fun texture with chia seeds or tapioca pearls.

Now, you can serve it in bowls prepared, and voilà! Your vegan homemade Chè Đậu Xanh is ready to be devoured!

TIPS TO THE BEST TREAT:

Recipe:

• Use sugar only when needed: or use some natural options like maple syrup or agave nectar for a more refined taste.
• Flavor Variations: Experiment with a teaspoon of vanilla extract, or using red beans or black-eyed peas for other varieties.
• Summer Chill: This dessert is extraordinarily refreshing and served cold, such as on a hot day.
