How To Make Vietnamese 3 Color Dessert [Che Ba Mau]

This is a very DELICIOUS simple and refreshing Vietnamese dessert. Let's get Started!


Ingredients needed:


2-3 can of Coconut milk 
1 bag of mung bean 
Agar Agar Packet
Crushed Ice
1 can Condense Milk
1-2 cans of Kidney Beans 


Serving is about 5-15 or more...

How to make the Green Agar-Agar: 
Place 5 cups of water in a pot and add the packet shown in the video, and stir. Do not put over heat yet because it will mess up the agar-agar. Place the pot on the stove under high heat, stir constantly when it comes to a boil add 1 cup of sugar and add food coloring/flavor in this case I used pandan flavor and it is a dark green color. Let the sugar dissolve. Get about 3 cooking sheets ready, after the sugar is dissolve remove from heat and pour in the cooking sheet. Let it stand for about at least 20 to 30 minute. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO REFRIGERATED! It can simple lay out on your dining room table this is not jello.  When it is harden, cut into strip or the design you would like.


How to Make the Mung Bean: 

Pour mung bean in a pot, clean it like it is raw rice than add water as if you are cooking rice. Stir occasionally, add about 1 cup of sugar. If the water is evaporated before the mung bean is cook add more water, when cooked remove from heat and drain water. Place it in a  large metal bowel and mash it. Add sugar to taste, if needed.


As for the kidney beans you can add three tablespoon of sugar for one can to make the beans taste ymmier!

You can also add red bean or what ever bean you like to give it a twist! 



Goodluck and Enjoy!! ^^
