Old Beijing mung bean cake

Overview

Traditional medicine believes that mung beans are sweet and cold in nature, non-toxic, and have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling heat and quenching thirst, diuresis and swelling, improving eyesight and reducing nebula, and beautifying the skin. Therefore, mung bean cake is a good summer snack that can relieve heat and detoxify, protect the liver and benefit the kidneys. This mung bean cake is made with slight modifications based on the recipe shared by Kiss Zhannu and the traditional Beijing mung bean cake making method. The taste of this mung bean cake has been unanimously recognized by my family, but the humidity needs some adjustment. It is a little dry, so there is more residue when unmolding and cutting into pieces.
