Rice And Mung Beans Pudding

Modified: Jan 9, 2023 · Published: Mar 21, 2016 · by Ramona

Jump to Recipe

If you are after a mung beans recipe, this pudding is one to make. Quick and easy, it is delicious and super nutritious. This dish is within the regular breakfasts that we get asked to make for our children.

Mung beans and rice pudding

They are absolutely in love with this and so are we. Again, for me, it's one of those childhood breakfasts, the rice, and the milk. As for the mung beans and the coconut, it's a childhood touch that's coming from my husband. So, this pudding makes a multicultural one if I could say.

I am a huge mung bean lover, in general, and those little and cute green beans are so pleasantly different.

Ingredients

  • rice for pudding
  • mung beans
  •  milk or coconut milk - oat, almond, hazelnut, or pecan nuts milk will also work pretty well in this recipe
  • cane sugar but coconut or palm sugar is great in this pudding recipe
  • Himalayan salt (pink)- please do not forget the salt- a key ingredient
  • desiccated coconut 
  • fresh blueberries - any other berries or fruits
  • goji berries (dried)
  • sunflower seeds - raw or toasted for extra flavor

How to make this mung bean pudding recipe

  • Step 1 - soak the rice and mung beans. I usually do it overnight if I remember or plan to make this pudding ahead.
  • Step 2 - boil the rice and the mung beans together with the milk, add the cane sugar and salt
  • Step 3 - serve with a generous sprinkle of nuts and berries

I bet, this rice and mung bean pudding will become a regular in your household too.

Variations

If you don't do dairy, simply replace it with almond, oats, or coconut milk. Absolutely delicious with every single one of them so feels free to replace your milk with the one that you like and consumes or prefer the most.

If you use coconut milk I wouldn't use the desiccated coconut as it might be a little too much coconut.

Recipe FAQs

Are mung beans good for us?

Above all, taste and appearance, they are apparently really good and healthy too. As with all beans and pulses in general, they have a low GI (glycemic index). This means they release the sugars very slowly.
Mung beans are a pack full of vitamins. They are packed with vitamins like A, B (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9), C, and K. They are also packed with minerals like magnesium, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, and manganese. These are just a few to enumerate -all these are contained by these wonderful super-beans.

Instructions

    This pudding was delicious and really filling. I wasn't hungry until after 3 pm which suited me to have a hefty lunch followed by a light dinner. It is my regular now. Thank you so much for this recipe. It is so delicious too!
