Tau Suan

Cook tau suan yesterday but not success for the 1st try. Unable to judge the pot MIL is using. I'm going to use the normal metal pot the next time (manage to find where she keep). Seems to be simple chinese dessert but yet to be quite ma fan when preparing this dessert.

Ingredients need
1) 300gm of split green bean
2) Sweet Potato Starch
3) Pandan leaves, washed and tie to a knot
4) "you tiao"

Directions
1) Wash and soak the split green beans over night
2) Morning - wash and leave to dry
3) Steam the beans for about 20 mins or until they are soft
4) In a pot, boil water (half of the pot) with pandan leaves, add sugar. Bring to boil, reduce heat and add in  the beans
5) Stir and slowly add in the thickener (half cup of water and 4 spoons of sweet potato starch, need to judge by urself whether how thickness you want for the tau suan). Stir it slowly and evenly.
6) Once boiled, you can off the stove.

I'm going to try again, add in too much water which lead to the thickness is not thick enough. Manage to save, taste is there but not as nice as my mum cooks.
