Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Soaking the mung beans long enough to soften them.
- • Cooking the beans until they are fully split and soft.
- • Mixing the hot sugar syrup with the tapioca slurry quickly to avoid premature setting.
- • Greasing the mold thoroughly for easy release.
- • Steaming each layer for exactly 3 minutes; over‑steaming makes the cake gummy.
Safety Warnings
- • Hot steam can cause severe burns – keep face away from the steamer opening.
- • Sugar syrup reaches high temperatures; handle with care to avoid scalds.
