Bubur kacang hijau is a traditional sweet porridge originating from Indonesia. It’s usually made with a combination of mung beans, sugar, palm sugar, coconut milk, pandan leaves, ginger, and salt. In order to prepare it, the mung beans should be soaked for a few hours, then cooked with pandan leaves and ginger.

The combination is sweetened with regular and palm sugar and seasoned with salt. The coconut milk is added after the beans have developed a soft consistency, and the porridge is then served, either warm or cold. Bubur kacang hijau is traditionally accompanied by a piece of white bread on the side.
