Barley, Mung Beans, Sweet Potato Dessert

With the quick-cook mung bean cooking tip I came across online, cooking this heat-alleviating dessert has become so much easier, especially at the spur of the moment.<br /><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8508/27937243273_eabfa252ef_z.jpg" /><br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br />All you have to do is to soak a big batch of mung beans in water overnight, drain them the next day, then bag them airtight in smaller portion-sizes in Ziploc bags and store in the freezer. When ready to make the dessert, boil a pot of water, then add in the frozen mung beans. It will take about 20 minutes for the mung beans to soften compared to the 45mins-1 hr typical cooking time. If you want the mung beans to be even softer, and can afford more time, you have the choice of cooking it longer, about 30 minutes.<br /><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8823/27935711114_f2e0370305.jpg" /><br /><br /><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=anestofo-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B071FGTXDW&asins=B071FGTXDW&linkId=f8a267f78ad3729f3328dc20dc210371&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 120px;"></iframe><b>Barley, Mung Beans, Sweet Potato Dessert</b><br /><i>Ingredients</i>:<br />1/2 cup organic barley pearl, soaked overnight<br />1-1.5 cups organic green beans, soaked and frozen previously<br />Some steamed sweet potatoes for sweetening<br /><br /><i>Directions</i>: Boil a pot of water.
