I was cleaning my fridge one weekend and stumbled upon some left over red, green and black- eyed beans, so I just put them to the boil and came up with this Mixed Beans 'tong sui'. Just nice to enjoy while relaxing and watching my favourite movie drama.
plucked some Pandan/Screwpine leaves from the backyard .......
Red, Black-eyed, Green beans, Sago pearls and
dried Pak Hup

nice and refreshing on a hot afternoon

Wow, I never tried mixing all the beans together. Looks good and worth a try!
ReplyDeleteYup, certainly worth experimenting,can dump all the left over beans into one pot, add in black glutinous rice too if you have. Thanks for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds amazing with the mixture. What is pak hap in English?
DeleteHey this is good for our weekend afternoon snacks..thanks for sharing....I can just slurpp it up from the screen for the moment LOL! I am so waisik :)))
ReplyDeleteI make 'tong sui' quite often, especially on Sundays, maybe I've got a sweet tooth...ha, ha
ReplyDeleteAunty,
ReplyDeleteI dont own a pressure cooker. I was thinking of making this in a slow cooker/crockpot. Would you know how long I should cook them for and whether I should stagger their cooking times?

ReplyDeleteRed beans take a longer time to cook, green beans cook faster. If you use a slow cooker, suggest you add in the red beans first, cook on high, then check it out, if they start to soften a bit, then add in the green beans. The pak hup you can put in last, after soaking for a while. To hasten the process you can use hot water, then put on high. Hope this helps!
Have a fun time, experimenting with cooking and baking!
