Marvellous Meatless MealGet Your Pulses Pumping

Mung Bean & Chicken Hot Pot is a mildly spicy and fulfilling meal all in a bowl. Mung beans are nutrient dense and easy to digest. They’re a gas-free bean, unlike other varieties of legumes, making them a popular choice for many legume recipes.

  1. Drain and rinse mung beans well under cold water after they've been soaking. Place beans into a medium-sized saucepan. Add enough water to cover the beans. (1/½ cups dried beans = 4½ cups water.) Place on stove top and bring to the boil uncovered.

  2. Reduce heat, place lid on top and simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the beans are tender. When done, drain mung beans. Using a potato masher, mash the mung beans in the saucepan until smooth.

  3. Spray with oil and heat a large frying pan. Sauté onion, garlic and chillies for 4-5 minutes. Stir in tomato cooking sauce and spices, then add the mashed beans. Add capsicums, pour chicken stock over the top, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, covered.

  4. When ready to serve, add the pulled chicken to the mung bean hot pot and season with salt & pepper.

  5. TCB Tips:

    - Mung beans’ health benefits are impressive. They offer 14g of protein per cooked cup and are a good source of dietary fibre. Mung beans are easy to add to many of the recipes in this cookbook - soups, stews, salads, rissoles, patties, even stir-fries.


    - Substitute mung beans if unavailable, with dried black beans, lentils or kidney beans.
