What is Lek Tau Thng

Lek Tau Thng is a Nyonya sweet broth made from green beans. This dessert, of Malay origin, is often taken for afternoon tea. When my wife makes it, she also adds sago pearls, which gives it a wonderful taste. To prepare Lek Tau Thng, the green beans are first washed until the rinse water runs clear. Then it is soaked for half an hour.

Bring a pot of water, sugar (my wife uses rock sugar) and pandan leaves to a boil. Then add in the green beans and leave it to simmer for another 30-45 minutes. Add in the sago pearls and continue stirring so that the pearls do not stick together in lumps and congregate at the bottom of the pot. Now add in coconut milk and salt to taste. Bring it to a boil. Now your lek tau thng is ready to be served.

Ingredients of Lek Tau Thng:

green beans

sago pearls

coconut milk

rock sugar
