Chinese Traditional Mung Bean Cakes

(Last Updated On: August 30, 2021)

Mung beans are traditional Chinese food for relieving heat in summer. Chinese medicine believes that mung beans are cold food. The wise Chinese make mung beans into mung bean soup, mung bean cake, mung bean porridge, etc., enriching the summer recipes.

The mung bean cake I shared today is a traditional recipe. When I was a child, I often ate this kind of snack. Unlike the current mung bean cake, it does not need to peel the mung beans, and the cooking method is simple. People are always used to looking for feelings in their memories, and I am no exception. I like the style of old-fashioned mung bean cake and the taste.
