Tau Suan

Tau Suan is my most fav food.. espeacially when added more yew char kwey.. yummy!! this is so easy to make.It is definitely much cheaper to make this at home than to eat it outside, plus you can adjust the sweetness according to your liking. Most importantly, you can have generous, unlimited servings.



Ingredients:
150g split green (mung) bean
2 pandan leaves, washed and tied to a knot
50g rock sugar500ml water
1 “yew char kwey” , sliced

Thickener:
40g sweet potato flour (or water chestnut flour), mixed with 125ml (1/2 cup) water

Directions:

1. Soak the beans in water for 1 hour, drained and rinse again with water. Drain again.
2. Steam the beans for about 30 minutes, or until they are soft.
3. In a pot, add water, pandan leaves and sugar. Bring to the boil, reduce heat, and add in the steamed beans.
4. Before using the thickener, stir the solution again to make sure it is even. Stir in the thickener slowly until mixture thickens (you do not need to add all … stop adding once it becomes the thickness that you like. I used only 3/4 of the amount).
5. Ladle into serving bowls and top with you tiao. Serve hot or warm.
