About Tau suan

Tau Suan is a traditional Southeast Asian dessert, particularly popular in Chinese and Singaporean cuisines. This comforting sweet soup is made primarily from mung beans, which are split and hulled before cooking. The beans are simmered with water, pandan leaves, and rock sugar, then thickened with a slurry of potato or tapioca starch to create its signature silky texture. Known for its fragrant aroma from pandan leaves, Tau Suan is typically served warm and paired with crispy fried dough fritters (youtiao) for added crunch. Mung beans provide a good source of protein, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, making this dish nutritionally beneficial in moderation. However, due to the added sugar and starch, Tau Suan's calorie content may be significant when consumed in large quantities. This dessert strikes a balance between indulgence and nutritional value, offering a satisfying treat with some health benefits.
