“Mung beans are small dried green beans with yellow flesh. Like all beans, they’re rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus and iron, but they’re mainly grown for sprouting. Mung bean sprouts have long been a familiar ingredient in many Asian dishes. Traditional Chinese medicine maintains that mung beans have a “heat-clearing, toxin-resolving” effect that eases conditions such as diarrhea and painful swelling."

Sauce was very thin the first time we made this recipe. Might want to thicken with flour.
