This is an instinctive recipe!
About 2 years ago when I cooked the mung beans, desired to turn the sweetness of dried blueberries to slightly sour and then tangerine came into my mind. Immediately squeezed the water of two tangerines instead of natural water and added them to pan. Besides the taste that you get while eating, it gives a great ending flavour that makes people smile.
This dish can be served both cold and hot and preserves flavor in both ways. So it is very easy to carry it in a bowl during the trips.
In many organizations, after serving these dish, I got the question “what’s inside of this” very often, and now this meal is indispensable on my menu.
Some of you that follow me since 2016, will remember this dish,
I’ve shared the recipe before. Today I made it again, measured ingredients and update the photos. I invite people who are looking for new palates:)
