Chinese Mung Bean Jelly Salad
Ingredients
- 31/2 cup water
- 3 tbsp homemade spicy black bean sauce, or other sauce of your choice
- 1 tsp black rice vinegar
- coriander, chopped
- fresh chilli, chopped
Preparation
Mix mung bean starch with 1/2 cup of water in a bowl
Heat up the remaining 3 cups of water in a saucepan until you see small bubbles start to appear at the bottom
Turn the heat to low
Quickly pour in the starch and water mixture while stirring constantly with a spatular
Remove the pan from the heat once you see big air bubbles coming up and the mixture appears to be translucent
Pour the mixture into a container
Leave to cool, then store in the fridge until it forms a solid jelly (it takes around 2 hours)
You may use a special mung bean jelly slicer or simply cut it with a knife into shapes of your choice
