There’s nothing better than enjoying a refreshing glass of cold mung bean dessert with a sweet and light taste, chewy beans, and a hint of creamy coconut milk on a hot sunny afternoon. Among the various types of desserts, green bean dessert is a popular choice among homemakers due to its simple preparation and uncomplicated ingredients. With just a few hours on the stove, we can have a pot of sweet and refreshing green bean dessert.
In addition to green beans, the essential ingredient when cooking this dessert is sugar. Do you know when is the right time to add sugar to the pot of green bean dessert? Most of us add sugar when the water and beans are boiling, but that is completely wrong and something we have been doing for a long time. Adding sugar when the water is boiling will make the beans take longer to soften and the dessert will have a thicker consistency.
Therefore, the best time to add sugar is when the beans are already soft, which is the final step in cooking the dessert. If you are worried that the sugar may not dissolve easily, you can dissolve it in a separate bowl and then pour it into the pot of green bean dessert. Furthermore, it is recommended to use raw sugar instead of white sugar, as it will make the dessert sweeter. Once you have added the sugar, you can turn off the stove immediately, without the need to continue cooking.

Another important point to note when cooking green bean dessert is to freeze the beans. This tip may sound strange, but it is the trick to soften the beans faster. First, soak the beans in water for about 10 minutes, then drain them and put them in the freezer. When frozen, the green beans will crack, and as a result, they will soften and cook faster. This method only changes the structure of the beans and does not affect the nutritional content, so there is no need to worry.
