After boiling, the YouTube user stirred it for a while, then boiled the mung beans for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn off the stove.

The YouTube user then processed the soft mung beans into mung bean porridge. He added coconut milk, brown sugar, and pandan leaves to the boiled mung beans. Then cooked again until the coconut milk boiled.
"The coconut milk is boiling, I stirred it briefly so that the coconut milk doesn't split. Cook it again briefly until the coconut milk reduces a bit," he concluded.
