Rice with Mung Beans
I love mung beans. It’s one of those foods that everyone should keep in their pantry. You can snack on it with a bit of salt, it’s delicious and even healthy. I added it to rice with carrots and onion and it was amazing.
What I like about mung beans is that they doesn’t require any special preparation, other than cooking (no need to pre-soak, etc.) and it’s always best to make more than you need so you have some left over to snack on. This is a great way to get your kids to eat some healthy food since mung means are a good source of protein and fiber.
An easy, tasty, and healthy recipe that’s great for lunch or dinner.
