Sweet Mung Beans & Rice

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup mung beans (dry)
• 1/4 cup brown rice
• 4 cups water
• 3 tablespoons Splenda granular, sugar substitute (or 6 Tbs Sugar)

Directions

1. 1

   Soak beans in water for 5 hours.

2. 2

   Get rid of green skins, if any, that float to the surface; you might encourage then to come off by rubbing the beans between your hands (recipe allows 10 minutes of prep time for this step); drain.

3. 3

   Rinse rice three times in water; drain.

4. 4

   Put rice and beans in a pot.

5. 5

   Add 4 cups water and bring to a boil for 1 minute; then lower the heat, and let simmer for 1 hours.

6. 6

   Add sugar (the 6 T called for might not be enough for Western tastes).

7. 7

   Stir, ladle into soup bowls, and serve warm.
