Các bước thực hiện:

1	Make the Cake Filling Soak 150g of peeled mung beans for at least 3 hours; overnight is better. This helps the beans expand. When cooked, they will be cooked faster, more friable, and soft. Wash the mung beans many times until the water is clear, then remove and drain. Bring mung beans to cook for about 30 minutes. Then grind it finely. Put the finely ground mung beans back into the steamer. Add 70g of grated coconut, 100g of sugar, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla and stir until the ingredients are mixed, the desiccated coconut turns clear and the sugar is completely dissolved and dried.
2	Make the crust Prepare 2 medium bowls. Divide the pie crust ingredients in half for each bowl. Specifically, each bowl will add 100g of tapioca starch, 25g of sugar, 180ml of water, salt, vanilla, 1-2 teaspoons of turmeric powder to make it yellow, or 1-2 teaspoons of organic matcha tea to make it green. Mix all the ingredients, stirring until the sugar and tapioca are completely dissolved. Prepare one frying pan. Add the peels one at a time and cook over medium heat. Stir well with your hands until the dough is thick, clumps together, about 80% cooked and the feeling of being heavy can be stopped. Continue in the same way with the rest of the pie crust.
3	Molded Vietnamese husband and wife cake Put the crust on a tray that has been coated with a layer of cooking oil. Divide the dough into small balls of about 10-12 g each. Wear gloves and apply oil evenly to avoid sticking. Spread the dough evenly into flat, round pieces. Place the filling in the center and then roll the ball. Put the Vietnamese husband and wife cake in the steamer and steam the cake for about 15-20 minutes on medium heat. Remove the cake to cool.
4	Cake presentation Sprinkle toasted sesame on top of the Vietnamese husband and wife cake. Use cling film to wrap the cake tightly. Note: The cake must be completely cooled before being wrapped so that it is not steamed and preserved for a longer time. Colorful, attractive, delicious, light-sweet, Vietnamese husband and wife cake made from completely natural ingredients.
