This method has proven effective for several reasons:1. The initial washing process helps clean dirt and moisten the surface of the green beans so that they are more ready to absorb water during boiling.
2. The first 5 minutes of boiling allows the heat to penetrate into the mung beans and begin to soften the skin.
3. A 30 minute resting period with the heat off but the pot still covered allows the heat to be trapped and continue working to slowly soften the mung beans without using gas.
4. The final boiling for 7 minutes completes the softening process so that the green beans become evenly soft.
