　　China enjoys a great reputation as a cuisine paradise, especially in Beijing, there are endless selections for food. Today I wanna tell you about the pea pudding that my mom often bought when I was young. It originates from Beijing from thousands of years ago. It’s made with the simple ingredient, with pea and some sugar with no artificial flavors inside of it.

　　To make it, we need to boil the carefully selected pea for a couple of minutes till the surface can peel off and pick out the peas skin so it tastes more exquisite. It’s better to boil it with a lower heat while constantly stirring it and adding sugar or honey based on your personal preference. Later when the pea melts, we just add tapioca there so it can be better shaped. Then we just put it in a container and let it cool for at least half an hour. Last step, just cut it into a small cube. It is one of my favorite desserts since I was young. It’s health-friendly, and with low-calories and low-carb options. And even till now, I still like to have a bite once in a while.
