Last mung bean post, I promise! I mentioned doing a quick sauté with them and using as a topping. An example here - one of my favorite family chicken soups with a crispy mung bean, cilantro, pink salt crumble on top. Delicious texture! .

The mighty mung bean. Soaked these and most will go into a batch of kitchari we will eat through the week/weekend and the rest for sprouting. Mung beans are such a therapeutic food. Cooling. Cleansing. Chinese doctors say they clear all toxins. They nourish Yin fluids in the body and cool redness / inflammation / swelling. They balance and comfort with their ‘sweet’ nature. We’ve had two weeks of vacation + I’ve got many emotions going on with my first son starting kindergarten/public school on Monday. Cooking up the comfort here in this transition time! Check out stories for some kitchari action shots 💗.
