This dessert is not only delicious, but also good for your health. Instead of buying it at markets, why don’t we make it at home? Let us start making one of Vietnamese Dessert Recipes ok?

Ingredients:

White bean (large size)
Sugar
Vanilla starch and salt

Process:

Step 1: Clean white beans few times, pick off all bad beans. Add a little salt into water; then pour white bean and soak through 1 night (make sure water will reach to the top of bean). Next day, bring to steam in 10 – 15 minutes. Use your hands to press gently, if they are soft, turn off the heat and pour into basket, wait to get dry.

Step 2: Add white beans, sugar into pan (100g beans with 60 – 70g white sugar). Or you can adjust to suit your flavor. But, if you do not use enough sugar, it cannot stick around beans. Here is also the important step to create one of amazing Vietnamese Dessert Recipes.

Step 3: Shake gently to make sure sugar and bean mix well. Wait for 2 – 3 hours and then bring to cook with small heat. Because beans are soft, you should not use chopsticks to stir. From my cooking experiences, just hold the pan handle and shake gently.

Step 4: Cook with small heat and when beans turn to white, you can use chopsticks or wood spoon to stir gently. Cook until the sugar syrup is ran out and sticks around beans. Cook more 3 – 4 minutes and add more vanilla starch into pan. Stir well and turn off the heat.

Finally, you should wait to reduce heat and store in glass jar for eating day by day. In Tet holiday, we have many amazing Vietnamese Dessert Recipes and here is one of them. Make sure you can make it if you are a true Vietnamese gourmet. Good luck for your cooking and have a happy Tet holiday.
