Are bingsu healthy?
In a nutshell, mango bingsu is a traditional Korean dessert that combines shaved ice with a compote made from mangoes. You can also add other fruits to the compote for a variety of flavor options.
The traditional Mango Bingsu has a thick compote with chunks of mango. You can also top it with different toppings. Some of the most common toppings include condensed milk, chopped fruit, tteok (rice cake), groundnut powder, and red bean paste.
It’s also popular to order mango bingsu in hotels and restaurants. In fact, some of the most expensive bingsu is served in five-star hotels in South Korea. These bingsu can cost $50 per bowl.
It’s best to go for fresh mango instead of frozen ones. When fresh, mangoes are soft and chewy. If you choose to use frozen ones, be sure to let them thaw before serving. This will prevent them from melting.
When making bingsu at home, you can also add some ice cream. This will give the bingsu a richer flavor. You can also use sweetened condensed milk and whole milk. You can even add some toasted nuts for a nutty flavor.
You can also buy the ingredients online or at Asian grocery stores. You can also buy a juicer and a bread maker to make bingsu at home.
