When the water is to be boiled dry (be careful not to stick to the pot), add a lot of boiling water, cover the pot, and continue to cook for 20 minutes until the mung beans are crisp and rotten, and the soup is green.

Wash mung beans, soak them in boiling water for 20 minutes, take them out and put them in a pot, then add enough cold water and cook them for 40 minutes.
