White hyacinth beans — 白扁豆 (Bai Bian Dou), also known as lablab beans or flat beans — are a pale, flat dried bean widely used in Cantonese soups and broths. They have a mild, lightly earthy flavour that blends naturally into long-simmered soups with pork ribs, and pair well with other soup ingredients such as coix seeds and lotus seeds. They are also used in congee and everyday Chinese cooking.
