Asian Fusion Butterscotch Mochi

The Asian-food fanatic in our house decided to add some brown sugar to his homemade black bean paste one day, and his mom gasped "Eureka!", or something very much like it. Butterscotch mochi now give(s) chocolate chip cookies a run for their virtual money!
The only change to the original recipe is that mung beans have been substituted for the black beans.  Because....they're kinda pretty.

Step 1 Sweet bean "butterscotch" filling

3 c. dried, split mung beans
2 c. lightly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

In a large mixing bowl, soak mung beans in a generous amount of water for several hours or overnight. This step removes most of the....er.....gassy component.

What does "Fusion" mean when cooking Asian food ?

Just a dash of silliness -- it's the "fusion" of Asian and American style! :D
