Preparation:

• Preparation time: 20 min • Cooking time: 10 min • Serving: 4

Ingredients:

Curd • 1/2 cup (120 g) mung bean starch • 3 cups water, divided

Sauce • 2 tablespoons soy sauce 中文 • 1 tablespoon Chinkiang vinegar • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1 tablespoon sugar • 3 cloves garlic, sliced • 2 tablespoons homemade chili oil, including the oil and the chili flakes, or to taste • homemade black bean sauce (*Footnote 1) (Optional)

Toppings • Chopped cilantro and/or green onions for garnish • A handful of shredded cucumber (Optional)

Instructions: 1. Add 2 1/2 cups of water to a medium-sized pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Then, turn the heat down to a simmer.

2. In a small bowl, combine the mung bean starch and 1/2 cup of water. Stir until the starch is fully dissolved.

3. Prepare a rectangular or square baking dish that can hold at least 4 cups of water but is small enough, so the mixture is at least 1” (2.5 cm) thick. (*Footnote 2)

4. Slowly pour the mung bean mixture into the simmering water while stirring gently with ...
... a ladle or a whisk. Continue to stir until the mixture in the pot starts to thicken and small bubbles start to form. It should start turning somewhat translucent. Simmer for another 6 to 8 minutes while stirring, until the mixture thickens further, like a thick sauce texture. Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

5. Let cool at room temperature until solidified. It takes about 2 hours if you use a shallower dish, but up to 3 or 4 hours if using a deeper dish. Once congealed, you can store the jelly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To serve 6. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and stir to mix well.

7. Place a large cutting board over the baking dish and flip it. Jiggle the dish slightly so the jelly falls onto the cutting board. Slice the jelly into 1/2” (1 cm) by 2 1/2” (5 cm) sticks or any bite-size shapes you prefer.

8. Transfer the sliced mung bean curd into serving bowls, drizzle with a few spoonful’s of the sauce, and serve chilled or at room temperature. For a twist or complementary ideas featuring ingredients like fava beans 中文, check out similar recipes for inspiration.
