Creamy Green Bean Cake
Overview
Mung bean cake is a traditional Chinese pastry. The taste can be divided into northern and southern styles. The northern style mung bean cake tastes dry and has a gritty feeling because it does not add oil, so it is also called dried bean cake; the southern style mung bean cake tastes softer and sweeter because it adds oil
