In the section of healthy and lean recipes today, mung beans. First, let's figure out what mung bean is? These are small green beans, also called golden beans. Mung bean is widely used in China, India, Japan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Every kitchen has its own classic dish using these healthy beans. Mung bean is very rich in protein, which helps quickly satisfy hunger, form muscle fibers, and has a beneficial effect on brain activity and, in general, the entire body as a whole.
Mung beans, unlike red or white beans, cook very quickly. In this case, the beans do not require long soaking in water and then the same slow cooking. Just rinse the mung bean in cold water and boil for half an hour. And then you can make any healthy and tasty dishes based on these beans.
I have a lot of ideas on this matter. The simplest and fastest thing that comes to mind is mung bean with lemon zest and green onions. For this side dish, mung bean is boiled (Classic cooking method: 1 cup mung bean in 2.5 cups of water. Cook for the first 15 minutes, then add salt, add 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and cook for another 15 minutes). Next, add the zest of one lemon, a little lemon juice, ground black pepper to taste and 2-3 green onions, finely chopped. The refreshing citrus flavor makes the dish very tasty and interesting.
