Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Mung bean flour
- 500 ml Water
- 50 grams Pea protein powder
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 200 grams Palm sugar
- 3 pieces Pandan leaves
- 1 large Pitcher of ice water
- 200 grams Red beans
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine mung bean flour and water, stirring continuously over medium heat until mixture turns into a thick but pourable batter.
Add pea protein powder to the mung bean mixture, whisking until the powder is fully incorporated.
Strain the mixture using a sieve directly into a bowl filled with ice water to form green chendol strands. Allow them to sit in cold water until set.
In another saucepan, combine coconut milk, palm sugar, pandan leaves, and a pinch of salt. Cook on low heat until the sugar is fully dissolved, and the mixture is fragrant.
Remove the pandan leaves from the syrup and add the vanilla extract. Stir well.
Cook red beans separately until they are tender. Drain any excess water.
In serving glasses, layer cooked red beans, chendol strands, and finally, pour in the coconut sugar syrup.
Top with additional ice if desired and serve immediately for a refreshing high-protein dessert.
