How to cook mung beans quickly

Mung beans have a good effect of clearing heat and reducing fire, and can also help us expel moisture from the body. However, it is troublesome to cook mung beans every time, so we should pay attention to certain skills. Soak mung beans in water for ten minutes before cooking, which makes them easier to cook.

1. Soak the mung beans in water for about 10 minutes, drain the water, put them in the freezer and freeze them into ice cubes. After being soaked, mung beans absorb water. Based on the principle that water expands in volume when it freezes, the mung beans are frozen and cracked. The cracked mung beans will expand when exposed to hot water, so they can be cooked into flowers quickly. It's just a simple physical change, the nutrients will not be lost.

2. Add water in batches. First add a small amount of water to cook the mung beans until they bloom, then add a large amount of water to boil the mung bean soup. This can shorten the time it takes for the mung beans to mature.

3. Simmer until soft: Wash the mung beans, drain the water, put clean water in a casserole and bring it to a boil, then put the mung beans in. The amount of water should be slightly more than the mung beans (about half an inch of mung beans should be submerged); cook over high heat until the soup is almost dry, then add boiling water, cover the casserole tightly, simmer for 20 minutes, skim off the floating skin, and cook for another 15 minutes. The mung beans will be soft and tender, and add sugar to make mung bean soup. Compared with the above method, the key to this method is stewing, which makes the mung bean soup taste softer.
