Tau Suan

This is a comforting dessert...I tried once by cooking it direct but it end up the beans are all mashed up....after much research on how others cook this using Thermie, the best way for me is to steam it and cook the starchy soup.  I have adapted a recipe in thermomix truly Asian FB with some modifications.

(Serves6-8)

Ingredients:

250g.     Spilt beans, soaked overnight

2.            Pandan leaves

Sweet syrup:

120g.      Rock sugar

1200g.    Water

 4-6.         Pandan leaves tied knot

Starchy mixture:

40g.       Potato starch

200g.      Water

1.  Put beans onto the varoma dish, leaving a hole for the steam to come up.  Cover the pandan leaves with the beans. Steam with 800g water.

              15m/ Var / sp3

2.  Add 1000g water, rock sugar & pandan leave into TM bowl. In the meanwhile, Mix potato starch with 200g water. When it reach last 3mins, pour in through MC hole to let the syrup thickens.

     15m / V / sp2

3.  Add in the cooked beans & stir the mixture & let it rest for 5mins, covered.

** Note:  Do not re-boil the Tao suan….it will turn mushy.  You can only heat up but not to boiling stage.
