   Step 1

   Prepare the ingredients, and soak the mung beans in water overnight.

   Soaked mung beans can be easily skinned by rubbing them with your hands. Rinse and rub repeatedly to remove the skins. (If you prefer, you can buy peeled mung beans directly.)

   Step 3

   Peel the mung beans and steam them for about 40 minutes, keeping them as dry and fluffy as possible.

   Step 4

   Place the mung bean paste on a cutting board and roll it out with a rolling pin, or blend it into a mung bean paste using a food processor, keeping it as dry and loose as possible.

   Sift the mung bean paste. This process is a bit tedious; you can skip this step if you don't mind eating small lumps.
