Lek Tau Suan with You Char Kway

This is my eldest brother's favourite ... mom makes it rather often. It reminds me of the many hawkers that came to our village together with the Chinese Operas .. there's always a stall that served Cheng T'ng(ngow be T'ng in my dialect), Ang Tau T'ng and Lek Tau Suan.

Lek Tau Suan



Ingredients:



Split green bean (mung beans.  Without the green skin, it's actually yellow)

Score and tie pandan leaves into a knot put in a pot with water, add sugar and 

bring to boil. Removed pandan.
