How is Mung Beans used in Thai cooking?

Mung beans - green gram - are small legumes grown across East and South Asia, used in both savoury and sweet cooking. Their best-known form is the sprout: the crisp bean sprouts tossed into Pad Thai and packed into fresh spring rolls. Whole, they're cooked down into sweet soups and desserts, or ground into the starch that makes glass noodles. Mild and nutty, they're a quiet, versatile source of plant protein that turns up in far more dishes than most people realise.
