Great example – you can just say, “Success in business is made of…”

I confess that this dish is very boring. In addition to the mung bean part, the filling is mainly pork fat.

Perfect use of “made of.” In the second sentence, you might mean: “These are the foundational ingredients…” Also … I had to look up what mung beans were. I’ve never tried it before!

Great use of “made of.”

A container made of paper might look shiny enough for you to imagine it is made of plastic. I remember once I opened a capsule of some nutritional supplement, swallowed only its contents, and put the remaining vegan capsule into the trash bin for plastics; the pill was too big and I was afraid of choking on it. Then my mom started to laugh so hard that my face turned red, and looking what I have just done, I choked with laughter too. Yes, sometimes you need more than a supplement to revive your brain.
