我要做一個賢氣的太太了！！

After a relaxing Reading week, getting back onto my two sore feet is a pretty difficult task to accomplish. Therefore, I had another idea of making something delightful and out of the ordinary, 綠豆湯! Guessing this will help me diverge my brain a little away from school work. Anyways, I called my grandma and my mom for the recipe and got the ingredients ready a few days ago. It's a very time consuming thing to make, therefore this blog will be updated as I go along. By the way, I'm starting to think my blog is going to turn into a thoughts on cooking blog, much like Julie & Julia, that's pretty sad :( Anyways wish me luck...

Step 1: I soaked the mug beans into water for at least two hours so they can soak up the water and it'll make cooking less time consuming.
What happened here was the bean covers started to crack because there was water being absorbed, I thought it was pretty cool if I started taking the peels off. The problem was when I tried squeezing the peels off, the beans would split in half. That's why in the picture below, you can see some really yellow beans which I accidentally split.
Step 2: after the bean is soaked for more than two hours its time to put it in the rice cooker.
Problem here was we put a 1:3 ratio of bean and water into the cooker, after a few minutes the room started to smell like burnt beans. This, of course, meant something was wrong so we went to check up on the cooker. Turns out, the beans were flipping and flopping around the cooker and the water was boiling way too much. Guess what Ming did...he got a whole water jug and poured the left over water into the cooker. Way too much water. Thanks Ming, now the ratio's more like 1:10!
