BUBUR KETAN KACANG IJO (Mung Beans porridge) & CLICK

Kacang ijo is Mung Beans in English.

This dish is considered a dessert and it is good to be eaten warm. My son has been a picky eater lately. He doesn’t want to eat any kind of vegetables. I have no clue why he is so different than when he was a baby. Back when he was a baby, I barely fed him any fruits or anything sweet. Most of his foods were vegetables. And he loved them all. NOW? I have to fight with him to make him eats vegetables.

Anyway, I am cooking mung beans in Indonesian style with a little bit of sweetness in the juice. And Woala… he loves it. There you go my boy! Some vegetables you eat finally. Nothing fancy about this dessert! I only cook these mung beans with water in the sauce pan until they turn soft. Then cook black sweet rice with water separately until they also boiled and soft.

For the juice, I boil coconut milk with granulated sugar. How much is the sugar? It depends on how sweet you want your soup will be. Then boil them with two slices of ginger and bay toey leaves (pandan leaves). Bring them to boil. Then add two tablespoons of cornstarch to make the soup a little bit ticker.



The lilac on the mung beans is contributed by my son. While I was taking pictures he threw lilac and stones. Then he said; look mommy! It is pretty! Oh yes. To honor his creations I put more lilac and stone on the metallic bowl. This time my photo session is different though. Most the time it was tiring doing photographs around my son. But this time it was FUN!

So here is the creation from my son and me for Click entry.
