This Asian recipe uses the beautiful and unusual purple yam. We blend the smooth texture of the yam with sweet rice flour, and accent this with a sweet, nutty filling. The dessert also happens to be wheat-free, dairy-free, and vegan. This purple yam is in the same botanical family (Dioscorea) as the white Asian yam 'Shan Yao'.

Mung Bean Pancakes
Mung beans clear heat (especially summer-heat) for thirst and irritibility and other symptoms of excess heat. Mung beans also detoxify the body and can help clear out residues of pesticides stemming from eating too many non-organic foods. The detoxification effects of mung beans can also treat the symptoms of food poisoning due to the consumption of spoiled food.
Ingredients:
1 lb Dried Peeled Mung Beans
2 tsp Salt
1 cup of Chopped Shitake Mushrooms (optional)
1 cup of Chopped Scallions (optional)
1 lb Ground Beef or Pork or Chicken (optional)
1 cup of Kimchee (if you happened to have some for taste)
