  Making mung bean filling

  Place a pan on the stove, add about 2 – 3 tablespoons of cooking oil into the pan, turn on medium heat to heat the oil, then add the annatto seeds and stir evenly to extract a beautiful yellow color. Filter out the oil and discard the seeds.

  Soak mung beans for about 2 – 3 hours until they swell, then cook or steam them until soft. Place the beans in a large bowl, add the prepared annatto oil, season with 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, a little salt, mix well, and mash the beans until very smooth.

  Shape the mashed beans into small, even round balls (about 1 teaspoon of beans).

  Tip:

  • The annatto oil will give the eggs a beautiful color and add richness to the eggs.
  • Depending on your preference for richness, you can adjust the amount of oil accordingly.

  Cook the egg white mixture

  Add 1/2 tablespoon of Agar jelly powder into the pot, add 300ml (enough for about 10 eggs), stir well until dissolved, then add unsweetened fresh milk.

  Place the pot on the stove, turn on medium heat, and cook while stirring continuously until the mixture boils for 1 – 2 minutes, then turn off the heat and remove all the foam that rises to the top.

  Tip:

  • Depending on your preference for crispy egg whites, you can adjust the amount of jelly powder accordingly.
  • You can add the fresh milk into the pot before cooking or add it when it’s almost boiling; both methods work.
