Ingredients
  

Serves 4–5

  • 200 g mung beans rinsed, no need to soak
  • 100 g sago pearls do not rinse or soak
  • 80 –120g rock sugar adjust to taste
  • 1500 –1800ml boiling water

You’ll also need:

  • A rice cooker with porridge/soup function
  • A spoon for stirring

Instructions
 

Prepare the ingredients

  • Rinse the mung beans well and drain. Leave the sago pearls as they are—do not rinse or soak them.

Combine in the rice cooker

  • Add the rinsed mung beans, sago pearls, and rock sugar to the rice cooker pot. Pour in all the boiling water and give it a gentle stir to prevent sticking and help the sugar begin to dissolve.

Cook

  • Close the lid, select the porridge function, and set it for 50 minutes. Let the rice cooker work its magic—no need to check or stir during cooking.

Serve

  • Once done, the mung beans will be tender, and the sago pearls will be fully translucent with no white centers. Stir gently and serve warm, or let it cool to room temperature for a refreshing chilled dessert.
