If you cannot find fresh you tiao for the tau suan, a good alternative is to add coconut milk. The taste is just as good.

Hi Nana, I’ve never tried with corn flour before so not very sure. Maybe you can try but lessen the amount of flour stated in my recipe. For example, you can prepare corn starch solution (corn starch dissolved in water) and add tablespoon by tablespoon till u reach the desired consistency. If you do try it out, let me know if it works ;)

I may need to steal this recipe! I have never had Chinese style moong dhal soup before. I know it’s being used a whole lot in Indian cooking hence I always have a bag of those in my pantry. And woohoo…now that I know this dish, I can ‘show off’ different twist of moong dhal to my mom in law’s! Heeee..Thanks for sharing the recipe.

As far as char kuey, I can eat that anytime..anywhere! *salivating*

Those looks like split yellow peas to me: I’m guessing that’s also another name for these “green beans”? I love those Chinese “doughnuts”!

What a coincidence. We’ve got some mung beans and Mum was going to make a dessert for us.
