Things to know about Bubur Kacang Hijau Recipe

Mung Bean is a popular ingredient for many Indonesian Traditional dishes. One of the most popular amongst them is the Mung Bean Porridge, locally recognized as the bubur kacang hijau—burjo for short. It is thought to be first invented by the Maduranese people living on Madura Island in the East Java Region.

But it can be found throughout Indonesia. It is commonly found in places with cold weather, like Bandung (West Java) and Dieng (Central Java), and is served in a bowl as a sweet and warm soup to warm your body.

The term burjo is popularized throughout Indonesia when nomads from west Java (bandung), and Sundanese people in general travel out and settle in various parts of Indonesia. Often opening a small food shack called Burjo, which mainly sells—you guessed it, mung bean porridge. These nomads are the reason why this dessert is so popular in Indonesia.

This dish can be enjoyed warm or cold. It is high in protein and is a delicious treat overall. The main ingredients of this dish are mung beans, coconut milk sauce, and palm sugar. The mung beans are cooked until tender and soft, hence the term porridge.

In this variant of the mung bean porridge, the coconut milk is drizzled on top as a sauce, but in Madura’s style of Mung Bean porridge, the coconut milk is incorporated into the soup/porridge itself. Whether cold or hot, this is a dessert you would not want to miss out on!
