Preparation:
1.
In a pot, boil the mung beans until soft.
Then, pour them through a sieve to separate
the beans from the water.
2. Using the pot, mash the boiled beans,
and add coconut milk and sugar. Stir over
low heat until thoroughly blended, and until
it becomes dry. Then, set aside and let
cool.
3. To make these into fruit shapes, take
about 2-3 teaspoons of mung beans and use
your hands to shape them into any form of
fruit you desire. For example, mango, orange,
cherry, etc. Then, using the bamboo sticks,
lift the fruit pieces and place them on
the foam base.
4. To prepare the gelatin to coat the beans,
use a pot and mix the gelatin, jasmine water,
and sugar. Boil over low heat. Allow about
1/3 of the water to evaporate so the jelly
will become thick.
5. Then, to coat the beans, paint the beans
with the food colouring so they represent
the color of each fruit. Then, leave until
the paint dries. After the fruit has dried,
dip them into the jelly. Dip each fruit
3 times, and let it stand on the foam base
until it dries again.
6. When, the fruits or Look Choops are dried,
use a knife to touch up the shape of them.
Note
: Small leaves can be used to decorate the
Look Choops to make them look real.
