This time we have a traditional Chinese dessert, the split pea pudding.
We need some yellow split peas for this pudding, you can also substitute red kidney beans for the split peas. For kidney beans, you should save 4 cups of boiled water after boiling kidney beans until soft. This boiled water is used to replace the four cups of water mentioned in the ingredients. This pudding is usually served cold. For this reason, we always prepare the pudding 1 or 2 days before your party.
We can cut the pudding into small cubes and decorate with some pretty pecks after cooling. It will add some colors to your party and a perfect end to your menu, especially for children.
