Bánh Bột Nếp Đậu Xanh is a delightful Vietnamese dessert made from glutinous rice flour and sweet mung bean filling, offering a perfect balance of flavors and textures. This treat is not only delicious but also a healthier alternative to many traditional desserts.

Ingredients

• Glutinous rice flour - 100 grams
• Water - 80 milliliters
• Mung beans (split and soaked) - 50 grams
• Sugar - 30 grams
• Coconut milk - 50 milliliters
• Salt - a pinch
• Sesame seeds (toasted) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Rinse mung beans under cold water and soak them for at least 2 hours, then drain.
2. Steam the soaked mung beans for about 20 minutes until tender, then mash them in a bowl.
3. In the mashed mung beans, mix in 20 grams of sugar and a pinch of salt, and set aside to cool.
4. In a separate bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, water, and remaining sugar to form a smooth dough.
5. Divide the dough into small balls (about 30 grams each), then flatten them into discs.
6. Place a spoonful of the mung bean filling in the center of each disc and fold the edges over to seal, rolling gently to form a ball.
7. Bring a pot of water to a boil and steam the filled balls for about 15-20 minutes until they become translucent.
8. Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly, then drizzle with coconut milk and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
