Katara says I can't eat Air Nation desserts for every meal, so I've been learning how to make this Mung Bean & Tofu Curry by examining old scrolls I discovered in the Southern Air Temple. After such a long war and with so many in shambles, many of these recipes are nearly illegible. With everyone gone, I can't ask for help, so this pressure of legacy rests on me. This version is the closest I've been able to get to the curries I remember. I hope it does my past airbenders justice.
