🧂 Ingrediënten
- 0.5 lb Dried mung beans

👨🍳 Instructies

The night before, cover the mung beans with cool water and soak overnight (at least 10 hours).

The next day, drain the mung beans. In a large pot, boil the mung beans in 3 cups of water with 1 tsp of salt for 10-15 minutes, until just tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and the liquid has reduced, about 15-20 minutes.
