Mung Bean Jelly


Mung bean starch, which is extracted from ground mung beans, is used to make transparent cellophane noodles (also known as bean thread noodles, bean threads, glass noodles, fen si (粉絲), tung hoon, miến, bún tàu, or bún tào). Cellophane noodles become soft and slippery when they are soaked in hot water. A wider variety of cellophane noodles, called mung bean sheets or green bean sheets, are also available. In Korea, a jelly called nokdumuk is made from mung bean starch; a similar jelly, colored yellow with the addition of gardenia coloring, is called hwangpomuk. In Northern China, Mung Bean jelly is called Liangfen (凉粉, means chilled bean jelly), which is very popular food during summer. Jidou_liangfen is another flavor of Mung bean jelly food in Yunnan, Southern China. Wikipedia

  • 1/2 cup Mung bean starch
  • 2.5-3 cup Water
  • 1 g Salt
  • Coriander or parsley leaves to garnish
  • Cherry or cherry tomato to garnish
  • 1 tsp Ginger paste

  • 1 tsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Chicken bouillon

  2. I've eaten tung hoon countless times but your preparation of this ingredient is a real departure from the norm, for me. I would not mind trying this at all though. I like the flavours you've used very much.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh...this is killing me! I love this dish. I've just eaten at a Chinese friend's house over the weekend....Szechuan style...very spicy but delicious. I wish I can get this flour here. I have to hunt for it. Maybe have to go to London for it!!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I just had those noodles this weekend with broth. What a great dish, and it does make me long for summer to get here!

    ReplyDelete
  18. From the name of the recipe, I had expected some dessert which would have been great for this summer heat we are experiencing. But heh it's something savoury instead and what an interesting, delicious looking recipe at that.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Very interesting. I'm going to see if I can hunt down some of those ingredients online. Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete

  30. That picture tempts me :-)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I've never heard of such a thing!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Angie,
    Thank you for sharing this special recipe. I don't think I've seen this product in my local Asian market. I'll check again. In Indonesia we only have the mung bean flour that's "spiked" with vanilla flavoring. I assume the one you used has no flavoring, right?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thank you ALL, my friends! I REALLY appreciate the support and replies from all of you.
    Tuty: You are right, it's plain. The one I bought is probably made in Thailand (as many Asian products here are made from Thailand) as I can't read the language either.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thank you for sharing this recipe Angie! You know, I love Korean food - and my favourite part of the meal are the little dishes you get before the mains arrive - this looks like one of them right? Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I love the look of your mung bean jelly salad. I learnt a new ingredient from you today :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I would love to try this. Thank you for posting pictures of the ingredients as some of these I am unfamiliar with.

    This looks so good!

  40. Transy noodles luks incredible:)

  41. I've never had mung bean stuff, I think the name turns me off. Heh. It looks great though!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hi Angie,
    Thank you for visiting. A lot of people here don't like spring either. I live in an agricultural community so there are lots and lots of people with seasonal allergies. After such a long winter though, I think I would prefer allergies to gray skies!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Very interesting recipe. Looks great!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Interesting! I've not seen this before either! Would be great if I can steal a bit just to try! At first, I thought it was gonna be some sorta dessert. Apparently, I was wrong! The dish looks scrumptious!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Mung bean starch - very new to me. This is incredibly creative - and I bet scrumptious. I shall keep a look out - am loving what I learn here.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Oh yes, Liangfen is steep in history and in Singapore,we can get it ready made from the supermarket. Just in time for the hot dry weather we are having now.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wow! It seriously looks so delicious!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Hi Angie,
    I just love this dish.I am currently living in NZ and funnily enough a Chinese place sells this.I never knew what is this dish but now I know.I would love to try out this recipe.May I know if Mung Bean starch is the same with Mung Bean Powder?Thank you for posting this delicious recipe.

    ReplyDelete
  49. At first, I thought this is some kind of dessert. Oh now I see! This looks like chewy 'ju chang fun'. Really interesting! I would love to have this with the red sweet sauce 'tian jiang'. mmm..mmm....

    ReplyDelete
  50. Btw, I've left something for you. Please feel free to stop by my blog to collect it. Have a nice day!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I love posts that enlighten me as to a particular ingredient or technique; you have done just that! I like the flavor combo too in this dish. I am a frequent shopper at Asian stores now and am investigating agar-agar at the moment.

    ReplyDelete
  52. P.S: you're invited to my house for a meal anytime!

  58. When I read "jelly", I thought it was dessert. ;O

    ReplyDelete
  59. I think I would enjoy this dish. I also learned that "jelly" has a different meaning than I thought..... The dish looks very flavorful.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I'm learning all about a new dish this week. Looks so good. Love the colors.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Shereen: I think they are probably the same thing.

    ReplyDelete
  62. OH MY GOSH! I LOVE this dish and have been looking for this recipe. Thank you, Angie, thank you so much :).

    ReplyDelete
  63. Is the texture similar to that of rice noodles? I take it that one can use the mung beans the same way the rice noodles are used? The plate is very appetizing.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Cynthia: I think they taste different. The mung bean one tastes really just like jelly...

    ReplyDelete
  65. Wow, Angie,

    My first time here and loving it. The pictres surely speak for themselves. Nice job :-)

    I love cilantro and the whole dish just looks amazing. U think that riceflour could work instead? I think in Korea they use it to make something very similar - called something close to DUK BUGGI

    ReplyDelete
  66. zlamushka: Thanks for dropping by.
    I don't know about the Duk Bugg, but I don't think the mung bean starch here can be replaced with rice flour.

    ReplyDelete
  67. This mung bean jelly is mouth watering recipe for me..I like spicy recipes and this seems spicy recipe.This recipe needs less ingredients that is why I like it.

    Hi Angie,
    I bought green bean starch (lu do fen) to make the mung bean jelly with. However, the jelly, which is currently cooling, has a yellow color.Before cooking it, the lu do fen already had a slight yellow tint. Did I buy the correct product?

    ReplyDelete
  82. @Anonymous
    Mine doesn't have a light yellow tint after cooling.
    Which brand did you use? Same as mine? Or could it be the water you used? Maybe try the filtered water?
