- 1.8 litres water
- 2 screwpine leaves, shredded and knotted
- 25g pearl sago, washed and drained in a colander
Instructions
- Wash green beans well. Put in a container and leave in the refrigerator overnight. (This makes it easier and faster to cook the beans.)

- Simmer for 50-60 minutes or until beans and lotus seeds are soft.
- Add sugar and simmer until sugar dissolves. Put in sago and keep stirring until sago is cooked and transparent.
- Add a pinch of salt or to taste. Discard screwpine leaves. Serve immediately.
