Soak and cook mung beans
After purchasing, wash and soak the mung beans for 8 hours. After soaking, rinse the mung beans again, drain them, and let them dry.
Next, put the mung beans into a pot of water so that the water level is about 2cm above the beans and cook until soft, which takes about 15 minutes.
During cooking, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavor of the beans.

Make mung bean filling
When the mung beans are soft, let them cool slightly and place them in a blender with 200ml of water. Blend the mung beans until smooth, then transfer to a pan and cook until the filling thickens and no longer sticks to the pan.
While cooking, add 100g of granulated sugar and 15ml of cooking oil. When the filling is thick, add 1 tube of vanilla to enhance the flavor of the filling.
Tip: If you don’t have a blender, you can use a spoon to mash the beans. Additionally, you can adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste!

Making the cake dough
After washing the sticky rice with water, soak it for 6 – 8 hours or overnight to soften the rice, then grind it using a blender or stone grinder.
Next, tie a large cloth bag around the mouth of a container and pour the ground sticky rice into the tied bag, then use a string to secure the bag tightly.
You hang the bag up high until all the water from the dough is pressed out to form a thick wet dough mixture.
Then, pour the thick wet dough into a bowl or tray, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and use your hands to knead until the dough forms a smooth mass.
Tip:- For better taste, you should grind the wet dough using a stone grinder instead of dry grinding with a blender.
- If the dough is too dry, add more water to knead the dough evenly until the dough mixture is not sticky to your hands.

Making the filling
Wash the mung beans and soak them in water for about 2 – 3 hours until the beans swell, then place them in a steamer.

Then, you heat a pan on the stove, add about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and minced meat, stirring well over low heat.
When the meat is evenly cooked, season with about 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and 1/3 teaspoon of ground pepper.
After that, add the steamed mung beans to the pan, stir well to combine the filling mixture, adjust the seasoning to taste, and then turn off the heat.
