Green Bean Milk with sago

I actually cooked this Green Bean Milk with sago for hubby as he was still suffering from the nasty sandfly bites that just will not heal.

Green bean has anti-inflammatory properties to protect against heat stroke and high body temperatures.  It is a good source of folate and potassium which helps regulate blood pressure.  It is also a good source of protein and fiber which can help lower cholesterol too.

What you need:

200g mung bean

3-4 pandan leaves, wash and tear into strands and tie into a knot

a spring of rue

2500 ml water

160g (adjust sweetness to taste) rock sugar 

45g sago

Garnish

100ml coconut milk mix with a pinch of salt

Method:

Wash beans and remove impurities.  

Combine green beans, pandan leaves, rue, and water in the instant pot.  Set on bean mode.  Quick release and add in sugar (adjust to your liking) 

*If you want just plain soup, you can remove it and serve it with salted coconut milk.

Transfer to a pot, and add in the sago.  

Serve with salted coconut milk.

Enjoy!
