Sweet Potatoes and Green Bean Sweet Porridge

The last trip to Ipoh, a friend of us served us this sweet porridge dessert - green bean with sweet potato. We usually cook green bean with brown sugar and coconut milk. During durian season you can add in some 'durian' (Thorny King of Fruits) flesh.

Boil green bean till soft otherwise use pressure cooker to cook for 5 minutes. Our government encourages us to use pressure cooker to save gas. Soak one cup of sago and drain them in a colander. Cut sweet potato into cubes. Clean a few pieces of pandan leaves and tie them into knots. Put the sweet potato cubes, pandan leaves, sago and the cooked green bean in a big pot. The sago should no longer have any opaque bits, indicating that it is cooked. Add require amount of sugar to taste.
