Why This Recipe Works
Yellow mung beans are made from whole mung beans that have been hulled and split, resulting in a delicate lentil-like legume. The toasted beans are a classic topping to Khao Niaow Ma Muang (Sticky Rice with Mango). For our recipe, we quickly softened the beans by soaking them in boiling water. After draining and patting them dry, we cooked the beans in an unoiled skillet until they were just starting to brown, which dried them out and gave them a delicate, crunchy texture.
