Vegetable Soup Recipe - Mung Beans & Chinese Cabbage

Introduction to this vegetable soup recipe – the Mung Beans and Chinese Cabbage Soup Recipe of the day:

Seen from the photo above, this dish looks more like a kind of porridge than a soup. But  I did intend to make a soup rather than a porridge. That is my fault because I didn’t use enough water or stock in. That happens when you do some cooking at home if you are not a professional cook. Don’t you think that’s part of the fun found in cooking? I do.

Without further ado, let’s get started right away about how to cook this vegetable soup recipe, specifically Chinese cabbage soup recipe cooked with mung beans.

Ingredients:

Green mung beans: 50 g

Chinese cabbage: 250 g

Seasonings:

Salt: 3 g

MSG: 3 g

Steps to enjoy this vegetable soup recipe:

In order to enjoy this Chinese cabbage soup recipe, you need to do the following work which is simple and only takes a short time, around 40 minutes.

1. Rinse the green mung beans clean.

2. Wash the Chinese cabbage clean. Then cut it into square pieces of about 4 centimeters on each side.

Note: I just ripped the green leaves off the white part and into pieces, then I would cut the white part of the leaf which is hard into squares.

3. Put the green mung beans into a clay pot. Cover them with appropriate amount of water.

4. Boil the pot on high heat.

5. When the soup is boiled, simmer it on low heat for 30 minutes.

6. Then add the Chinese cabbage pieces, salt, MSG into the soup. And boil it for another 5 minutes on low heat.

Tips:

1. If the soup is too salty, there’s a tip that can help you. Sew a wrap with a white clean cloth which is usually used for cooking or steaming. Put flour inside. And then put the wrap into the simmering soup for a few minutes. The soup will not be too salty any more because the salt is absorbed into the flour.

2. I found that it is pretty boring if you wait on the pot during all the process. You can do whatever you want during this time. But you should set an alarm to remind you of the simmering soup. For me, I just prepare for another dish perhaps.

Hope you will enjoy cooking and sipping this vegetable soup recipe (Green mung beans and Chinese cabbage soup recipe) introduced today.
