Ecoramic Pots Recipe ~ Green Bean Soup

This is an easy Chinese soup dessert that is cooling and sweet, which is suitable for the perpetual hot weather in Singapore. Green beans aka ‘mung beans’ are considered by Chinese as a ‘cooling’ food, and some believe it is a good natural alternative home remedy for acne. I just love boiling this because it is so low price, easy and tasty. Some love the look and texture of sago but this is optional. Tips: "Green bean soup is cooling, while red bean soup is 'heaty' food".
