Mung beans are a small cylindrical bean with a remarkable green color. Mung beans are used primarily for sprouting and produce the sprouts most commonly found in Chinese and East Asian cuisine. Soak them overnight and cook them like you would any other bean. This healthy legume is extremely high in protein.
How to Prepare Mung Beans
Combine desired serving of beans with water and a tiny bit of oil or stock. Bring the beans to a boil, reduce the heat, then cover and simmer until beans are tender, 30 to 60 minutes.
Ingredients
Mung beans. Packaged in the same facility as peanuts, tree nuts, soy, sesame, and milk products.
