Cover the bean with water. Make sure the water is about 1/2 to 1 inch above the beans.

Turn on to a high heat and place the lid on your pressure cooker.

Bring to boil. Once the top of the pressure cooker is rocking turn the heat down to medium and time for 5 minutes. Then turn off and wait until the pressure button on the cooker has gone down. Then you can open the cooker. Add salt to your taste and serve either as a soup or with brown rice. Its also really nice with lightly sauted collard greens.

Mung beans are very high in protein.
