• salt to taste

Preparation

1. boil: bring the broth to a boil in a large pot. add the rinsed mung beans and cook, uncovered, for about 40 minutes. i checked on mine every 10 minutes and added more water as. the consistency should be like a very thick soup.
2. heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in the oil in a large nonstick skillet until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. add to the mung bean pot and allow the mixture to simmer together for a few minutes.
3. stir in the coconut milk and moringa leaves. remove the mung bean pot from the heat. it just needs to be hot enough to very slightly wilt the leaves. serve over rice or plain, like a soup.
