Let's Make Rainbow Ice!

Today, I'm gonna teach you a very unique and yummy snack! I tasted this beverage snack when I first went to a Vietnamese resturant. This delectable beverage will be sure to fill your tummy...because there's a lot of beans in it. ( ^ ^ ; )a

Anyway, let's make some Rainbow Ice ( also known as Che Ba Mau)

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup skinless split mung beans, soaked for 3 hours and drained
  • 1/2 cup of red azuki beans, soaked for 4 hours and drained
  • 3/4 cup of sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups of coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup of green grass jelly
  • 1/4 cup of tapioca pearls
  • 1 can of logan, drained
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped peanuts
  • Shaved ice (amounts differ on how much you want)


First, boil 2 cups of water over a pot (medium heat), add the mung beans and 1/4 cup of sugar. Stir and let the water be absorb, which should take about 20 minutes. Let it cool and then put it in the refrigerator.

Next, Boil two cups of water in medium heat, once boiled turn the fire to low heat. Add the azuki beans and cook them for three hours (yeah, it's that long). Let the beans cool off and be refrigerated.

Then, boil the coconut milk and 1-1/2 cup of water together in low heat. Add the rest of the remaining sugar and the tapioca into the pot. Cook until the tapioca pearls are complete transparent. Once again, let it cool and be refrigerated.

Last step! Get yourself a cup, layer two tablespoon of shaved ice in between everything. So it'll be: ice, coconut tapioca, ice, azuki beans, ice, tapioca, ice, mung beans, then green grass jelly, chopped peanuts, and top it off with...you guessed it--more ice.

And there you go a snack with approxiamently 1000 calories...The good news is that it show be able to keep you full pretty much for two meals. Well, enjoy your Rainbow Ice.

    This looks a bit complicated to create. I do not usually keep mung beans in my cupboard, but I may have to shop for these ingredients and give this recipe a try. 1000 calories is hefty on the hips, but perhaps if I share this delectable with my husband, 60/40, I won't feel so guilty. 400 calories is about all I can designate to dessert. I'll let you know how it turns out.

    thank you..... Prof Sprouls
