Accordingly, after soaking the black beans, drain the water and then roast them for about 5 minutes until they have a light aroma. During the roasting process, stir them to avoid burning. Then, put the beans in a pressure cooker to simmer or you can cook them in a regular pot, but it will take a little longer.

Step 3: Put the black beans in the pot, add about 1 - 1.5 liters of water, pandan leaves, and a little salt. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes in the pressure cooker. If you cook normally, it will take about 45 -60 minutes to soften the beans, simmering over low heat.

When the beans are cooked, add sugar, stir well and adjust the sweetness to your liking. For more aroma, add a slice of ginger. And if you want the dessert to be thicker, mix 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch with water and slowly pour into the pot, stirring well. Finally, let the dessert cool down and enjoy.
