Green Beans Ginger Porridge
Ginger pea porridge has always been my mainstay during rainy weather and even when I'm not feeling well. Served by boiling then serving the final result only a touch of sweetened condensed milk. This characterizes the presentation of the Acehnese ginger mung bean porridge. I'm not sure if other regions in Indonesia have similar dishes like this. What is clear is that from the time I was a child, I had memorized this porridge. My mother even prepared it during the rainy season in the afternoons so that her children would not go hungry at home.

Results and Serving suggestions
Serve warm or even cold in the refrigerator is also very good. A touch of sweetened condensed milk will give it a great flavor. But if you don't like this you can skip it, the point is that this porridge is gingered. My mom's recipe usually also uses shallots as an additive but since I don't really like them I skip it.
The green beans are indeed very soft, which is the texture I wanted. Moreover, the addition of ginger makes it even fresher, there is a slightly spicy flavor from the ginger and it makes it even more delicious. The sweetness is just right I'm sure those of you who don't like too sweet this is a suitable choice for you.
Well make this porridge as your dessert or appetizer is also very suitable. And believe me this classic porridge dish is very light in the mouth.
